    It's victory formation time at Arrowhead...

    Buffalo Bills 24-38 Kansas City Chiefs

    A Darrel Williams run secures a Chiefs first down and ices the game as we hit the two-minute warning.

    There's no way back for Buffalo from here - Kansas City are back in the big one again.

    The Chiefs recover the onside kick and that should be that.

    Buffalo Bills 24-38 Kansas City Chiefs

    That all left Buffalo with a fourth down and 28.

    Even in their current desperate state, they could not go for that so Tyler Bass fires in a brilliant 51-yard field goal.

    Just over three minutes to go.

    Just two onside kicks and two Bills touchdowns needed to level the scores...

    Haha! Three penalties are given against Buffalo for the melee and one against Kansas City - but the officials say those penalties offset and cancel each other out!

    Not sure about their maths there.

  6. That's ugly!published at 02:50 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2021

    Buffalo Bills 21-38 Kansas City Chiefs

    Plenty of handbags!

    Josh Allen is sacked and in frustration, while grounded, throws the ball at the Chiefs' Alex Okafor.

    He reacts and then Jon Feliciano protects his quarterback by throwing Okafor to the ground.

    A melee breaks out and there could be any number of penalties here.

    I mean this often happens when the game is virtually over - but where has this Buffalo been?

    Josh Allen drills a pass to Stefon Diggs and the Bills are back in the Chiefs' redzone.

    Buffalo Bills 21-38 Kansas City Chiefs

    Wow! The Bills recover an onside kick!

    Armani Watts fumbles Tyler Bass' kick and the Bills regain possession straight from the restart.

    They still need a miracle, mind.

  9. touchdown

    And there it is.

    Josh Allen finds Isaiah McKenzie from eight yards to give Buffalo the slightest glimmer of hope.

    And that glimmer is almost immediately extinguished as the two-point conversion attempt is intercepted.

    That would have reduced the gap to two scores but it remains three.

  10. Postpublished at 02:42 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2021

    Buffalo Bills 15-38 Kansas City Chiefs

    A penalty for roughing the passer - which looked really nasty on Josh Allen, who has been beaten and bruised in this one - has Buffalo inching towards a score.

  11. Postpublished at 02:39 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2021

    Buffalo Bills 15-38 Kansas City Chiefs

    The Bills are in the no-huddle offense now and are marching down the field but it's too little, too late.

    They need three touchdowns and a couple of two-point conversions in four and a half minutes without Kansas City scoring in reply.

    Not. Going. To. Happen.

  12. touchdown

    Buffalo Bills 15-38 Kansas City Chiefs

    If they settle for a field goal... what was I on about? Idiot.

    Buffalo try to bring pressure to Patrick Mahomes but all that does is leave space elsewhere, specifically for Travis Kelce who has the freedom of Arrowhead to reel in a lofted pass.

    Surely that score punches Kansas City's ticket to the Super Bowl.

    Buffalo Bills 15-31 Kansas City Chiefs

    A series of Darell Williams runs have punctured any Buffalo hopes of keeping the Chiefs scoreless on this drive though.

    It's third and goal but even if Kansas City kick merely a field goal, that will stretch their cushion to 19 points.

  14. Postpublished at 02:27 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2021

    So, 12 minutes to go and the Bills simply have to keep the Chiefs pointless on this drive.

    Easier said than done, of course, as a Travis Kelce catch and a Patrick Mahomes run already have Kansas City inside the Buffalo 35 after the interception return.

    Buffalo Bills 15-31 Kansas City Chiefs

    Game over?

    In desperation, Josh Allen tries to force a pass to John Brown that was never on.

    The ball rebounds off Brown's fingers and is gratefully grabbed by Rashad Fenton who gains a few yards before Allen tackles him.

    Time is running out now for the Bills. And so are opportunities.

    Buffalo Bills 15-31 Kansas City Chiefs

    Kansas City have really snuffed out the deep threat of Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs tonight and another long Josh Allen pass flies over him.

    Allen is having more success when he runs with the ball - he's just made a 15-yard sprint for another Buffalo first down early in the fourth quarter.

  17. Postpublished at 02:16 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2021

    Buffalo Bills 15-31 Kansas City Chiefs

    Isaiah McKenzie gets the yard - and a couple more - required to keep the ball in the Bills' hands.

  18. End of third quarterpublished at 02:13 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2021

    Buffalo Bills 15-31 Kansas City Chiefs

    Josh Allen shows more gumption to avoid further pressure and find Cole Beasley but he's a yard short of a first down.

    It will be fourth and 1 to begin the fourth quarter - a fourth down you imagine Buffalo have to convert to stand any chance of turning around this 16-point deficit.

    A huge blow to the Bills' hopes as Josh Allen is swallowed up by Frank Clark. Third and 14 now...

  20. Postpublished at 02:08 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2021

    Buffalo Bills 15-31 Kansas City Chiefs

    A big third down and 2 for the Bills in their own half...

    Stefon Diggs gets the first down with a short catch then follows up with another to cross midfield.
