With a three-point lead and only 13 seconds on the clock, the Bills seemed to have won the game. Especially because Kansas City had a good forty yards to go to hope to equalize on foot.
But nothing is obviously impossible for Patrick Mahomes. Equalization in 13 seconds, he did it. The victory in overtime too. Tuesday, at a press conference, Sean McDermott still seemed in shock at these few seconds at the end of regulation time.
“I looked at the images, and I see them again and again in my head a million times, in my stomach a million times more. It’s my life and I’m super competitive. I want the best for our team, this franchise and our fans. So I will continue to see them in the same head and in my guts for years. But when we reach our goal, I think it will all make the moment even more enjoyable. “
Hit a short kickoff to save time, defend differently. In retrospect, it is easy to rewrite history. McDermott prefers to think about what his team needed to master.
“It’s a question of execution of actions. It’s disappointing because our pride is in having attention to detail. We pride ourselves on playing well in specific situations. And we practiced that relentlessly. Nonstop. It’s even more disappointing knowing that we train a lot on these situations. That’s why I say we have to face what happened, not hide from it. “
McDermott and his troupe have a few months to digest.
