Kansas City #Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones gives a ringing endorsement for defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo | @EdEastonJr

A few days before Sunday's AFC Championship Game between Buffalo and Kansas City, 99-year-young Bills coaching legend Marv Levy joked on a podcast that he had taped his ankles and was ready to go.

The game — and the Chiefs’ historic charge toward an unprecedented Super Bowl three-peat — was slipping away Sunday night in Kansas City.

The situation came on the other side of the two-minute warning on Sunday night. With Kansas City clinging to a 32-29 lead, Allen and the Bills faced a do-or-die 4th-and-5 situation on their own 47-yard line. With Buffalo holding all three of their timeouts, Sean McDermott left his offense on the field to try and convert fourth down.

Yes, cornerback Trent McDuffie — historically an excellent pass-rusher from the outside, and one who helped save the Chiefs in last year’s Super Bowl with a well-timed rush — got the green light to attack Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Or, perhaps, he made that decision on his own.
