Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce went viral after the Chiefs’ NFL Playoff win over the Bills on Sunday night. The pass catcher was seen rubbing salt in the wounds of Buffalo fans, waving and blowing a kiss to the stands following an excruciatingly painful loss.
It was an all-too-familiar feeling for Bills Mafia as they watched the home team fall in the postseason.
In a back-and-forth game, Buffalo found itself down 27-24 in the fourth quarter. They appeared to be on their way to at least tying the score on their final possession, driving into field goal range with less than two minutes on the clock.
Kansas City would force a fourth-down, making the Bills send out the special teams unit.
Then, pain.
As if watching a replay from years past, Tyler Bass’s game-tying attempt sailed wide right, allowing the Chiefs to leave Highmark Stadium with an upset win.
KICK IS NO GOOD.
