“13 seconds.”
The two words are quite familiar to any fan of the Chiefs and Buffalo Bills, of course referring to Kansas City’s stunning comeback win in last year’s Divisional Round.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce and kicker Harrison Butker found a way with just 13 seconds left to get down the field and force overtime. Mahomes and company then scored a touchdown in overtime’s initial drive to send Buffalo home as Kansas City played in its fourth straight AFC title game.
Given what happened in that next game for the Chiefs against the Cincinnati Bengals, the phrase, “13 seconds,” in a way, has become bittersweet.
