Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo pulled out one of his best calls when his team needed it against the Bills.
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.
The game — and the Chiefs’ historic charge toward an unprecedented Super Bowl three-peat — was slipping away Sunday night in Kansas City.

The Buffalo Bills had their season come to an end Sunday night with a devastating loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game.

Hurts largely succeeded against the blitz on the NFC side of the playoff bracket. But the Los Angeles Rams, who sacked Hurts seven times in Philadelphia’s 28-22 win in the divisional round, gave the Eagles quarterback considerable trouble. Oftentimes it appeared his checkdown options were ill-placed or covered up entirely.

Stopping the Josh Allen tush push was a major part of the game and it is the play that is still being discussed as a lot of people think that it should've been a first down. It wasn't, and Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo spent a lot of time getting his team ready for plays just like that.
