Mahomes is so ridiculous that even if the Bills had squibbed it he probably would have pulled out a 40 yard behind the back throw to Tyreek to get them into FG range anyway. The Bengals ended up getting it down to 0:00 the first time essentially by accident, but last night shows why you gotta try and bleed the whole clock. Bucs game was kinda the same thing, Fournette probably should have gone down at the 1 yard line and they should have tried to bleed it out, score with 0:00, and go for two to win. Some highly questionably decision making from the defensive coordinators certainly was a massive factor in both teams losing yesterday, but offense now is just so advanced that they could call it "correct" and the offenses would still get it done.
It was probably the most exciting playoff weekend ever, although pretty clearly one of those games was not like the others. No offense to the first three games, but they all had significant elements of comedy in them, yesterday's first game being one of the funniest games I can remember. But last night lived up to, and exceeded, all expectations. Certainly hope it becomes an annual playoff game between these two, both quarterbacks clearly very special and able to make things happen not many guys ever could. Feel for the Bills and their fans, finally get Brady gone, get an elite QB, and now Mahomes might be there every year to stop them. But their time will surely come.
