ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- For 59 minutes and 36 seconds, the Buffalo Bills played a mistake-filled game against the Denver Broncos, but still managed to do enough to establish a late one-point lead.
Then, as the seconds ticked off the clock in Highmark Stadium, the miscues and wrong steps caught up to the Bills. An extra player on the field penalty during a 41-yard missed field goal by Denver kicker Wil Lutz held the door open for the Broncos to walk out of Buffalo with a 24-22 win.
"Absolutely, absolutely," Bills coach Sean McDermott said when asked if it was one of most inexplicable losses he had suffered.
