Reactions from wild Chiefs-Bills playoffs overtime shootout

The win sent the Chiefs to the AFC Championship game against the Cincinnati Bengals and Twitter into a spiral.

The first three playoff games of the weekend ended with walk-off field goals, yet Sunday night’s matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills outdid them all.

Kansas City went up 33-29 with 1:02 remaining after a wide receiver Tyreek Hill 64-yard touchdown catch-and-run.

The Bills took over the lead 36-33 with 13 second left, but Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes led his squad down the field to reach field-goal range.

The Cincinnati Bengals will face the Chiefs next week, and they seemed to enjoy watching Sunday’s action as much as the fans.

The excitement did not elude the Arizona Cardinals and their legends.
