When Bills quarterback Josh Allen takes the field for the AFC Championship Game in Kansas City, the franchise will have its best player having the best season of his career, trying to lead the organization back to the Super Bowl for the first time in 31 years.

Allen was ruled down at the line of scrimmage, and Bills kicker Tyler Bass booted a 21-yard field goal through the uprights for a 27–19 lead—just enough to eventually send Baltimore packing into the offseason and advance Buffalo to the AFC championship game.

The Buffalo Bills are in the AFC title game for the second time in the last five seasons. But if Josh Allen had been a bit more overzealous in a critical goal-to-go moment against the Baltimore Ravens in the divisional round last Sunday, Buffalo would probably be sitting at home right now.
