The Bills had a will to get to Super Bowl 2025.
Late in the third quarter on a fourth-and-goal at the 1-yard line, the Bills went for it as Josh Allen ran an option play, pitching it to running back James Cook, who managed to dodge one would-be tackler, bounce off another and extend the ball across the plane of the end zone while falling to the ground to give the Bills a 22-21 lead before their hearts were crushed again in a 32-29 loss.
It was a mightily impressive effort from Cook, who also scored a touchdown in the second quarter, as the Bills look to finally beat their playoff kryptonite and reach their first Super Bowl in 31 years.
Cook’s first touchdown, from 6 yards out early in the second quarter, gave the Bills a 10-7 lead.
A Xavier Worthy touchdown put the Chiefs ahead again with 4:14 left in the second, and Patrick Mahomes ran one in with 1:55 left in the half.
The Bills got one back with 23 seconds left in the half as Allen hit Mack Hollins for a 34-yard touchdown.
