So here are the dots on the one Romo talked about how open Diggs was underneath. And while Diggs is definitely open underneath, Shakir is also very open for the touchdown. It was the right throw to make, but as the dots show Chris Jones blows this play up to the point I'm not even sure Josh could have made the pass to Diggs and even if he does Bolton is probably gonna tackle Diggs for a gain short of the first down.

In the end the Bills were actually lucky to even be in the game for a trying kick or go ahead TD. Chiefs outgained them by three yards a play (7.7 to 4.7) and got first downs on almost half of their non-kneeldown plays (21 in 43 plays). The "lateral" and the Bills fumble luck are pretty much why it was close.
