The Bills’ Tyler Bass missed a game-tying kick wide right vs. Chiefs that will haunt Buffalo for years

Tyler Bass Bills Chiefs Buffalo NFL

The Buffalo Bills had it in their grasp. In another instant classic playoff battle with the Kansas City Chiefs — this time at home — all the Bills had to do was close their rivals out. Nothing was guaranteed if they could get Kansas City to overtime, but at least they’d have a chance.

That is, unfortunately, not the hand they were dealt.

In the final moments, Bills kicker Tyler Bass had a 44-yard attempt lined up. A chip shot in most circumstances, but one that was undoubtedly teeming with pressure in a close playoff game. Bass missed … wide right — two words that the Bills and their fans probably never wanted to hear this time of year again.

With Bass’s miss, all the Chiefs had to do was churn out a single first down (which they did) to clinch a sixth straight AFC title game appearance. Meanwhile, despite possessing Josh Allen — a bona fide Hall of Fame caliber quarterback — the Bills have once again experienced unfathomable postseason heartbreak.

January can be a very cruel time in the NFL, especially in Buffalo.
