There were plenty of moments when special teams played a key role in the Kansas City Chiefs’ thrilling 42-36 overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills in last Sunday’s Divisional round matchup. The most prominent was placekicker Harrison Butker’s 49-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, which occupied just three of what now might be seen as the most-famous 13 seconds in franchise history.
Butker had already missed a 50-yarder in the second quarter — not to mention an extra point in the third quarter — but in a pressure-filled moment, he saw it as an advantage.
