There are no more undefeated teams in the NFL, which means the surviving players of the 1972 "Miami Dolphins" have a new reason to pop the champagne.

Some of them were starting to get tense. Larry Zonca, two-time Super Bowl champion, spoke in color before the game about how the current "Chiffs" resembled the "Dolphins" - a surefire attempt to jinx Andy Reid's team.

Patrick Mahomes literally started and ended the tourney's pivotal game with an interception. He has already thrown 11 gifts to opposing defenses this season, very close to the anti-record. That said, Mahomes' memorable and uncharacteristic mistakes from last year are hurting his statistical ratings, but they don't really hurt his overall game - Patrick is still incredibly effective, although he has serious problems with vertical passes.

Last year, Rashi Rice was already active in the backfield by midseason. Now neither he nor Marquise Brown, who was acquired in the offseason, are in the lineup. Rookie Zavier Worthy has alternated good episodes with bad ones, and the "Bills" guarded Travis Kelce, who has been playing lately, very closely and allowed him to gain only 8 yards on receptions. Even Steve Spagnolo's defense shook - 30 points the "Chiefs" haven't allowed since the start of the 2022 season.

The "Bills" know all too well what the "Chiefs" are capable of in the end zone, so in a 4-and-2 situation at the opponent's 26-yard line with 2:17 left in the game, they didn't kick a field goal, increase the score difference to 5 points and rely on their defense. No, there was no need for bold decisions.

Josh Allen was supposed to play a pass against personalized coverage, but he identified the defenders rolling into the zone in time and ran, sweeping everything in his path. 'The "Bills" are still in contention for the No. 1 seed, and Allen is in contention for the MVP title.
