But it’s a tack the Buffalo Bills took repeatedly in Sunday’s AFC championship loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bills twice faced fourth-and-short inside the 10-yard line with a chance to cut a two-score deficit to one with a touchdown. They twice kicked gimme field goals instead.

And every year around this time, the league’s stunning lack of diversity in its front-facing leadership positions rears its ugly head. This year is no different. Oh, we’ve got a bit of a respite at the general manager spot, as two African Americans — Brad Holmes and Terry Fontenot — have been named general managers of the Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons, respectively. That brings the league-wide total of Black GMs to… Source link

The Kansas City Chiefs won on Sunday and advanced to their third straight AFC championship game. And nobody was talking about that after the game. Patrick Mahomes, considered by many to be the NFL’s best player, suffered an injury in Sunday’s AFC divisional-round playoff game against the Cleveland Browns.
