“Big-time players make big-time plays in big-time games.”
Former Miami Hurricanes wide receiver Santana Moss delivered that epic line after a win over Florida State in 2000 — and the current Kansas City Chiefs have continually proven his statement to be true. The era of quarterback Patrick Mahomes has featured the team’s best players stepping up when it has mattered most — whether it’s a big regular-season game, a postseason matchup or the Super Bowl.
No game exemplified that theme more than the Chiefs’ unbelievable 42-36 overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC’s Divisional round on Sunday night.
