The Bills and Chiefs went punch-for-punch in the final 2 minutes of regulation.

First, Josh Allen found Gabriel Davis for a 27-yard touchdown pass and completed a two-point conversion to go up 29-26 with 1:54 remaining in the game.

That was way too much time for Mahomes and the Chiefs.

Allen wasn’t finished.

Mahomes finished 33-for-44 with 378 passing yards and three touchdown passes. He had a touchdown each to Hill, Kelce and Byron Pringle.

Hill led the Chiefs with 11 catches for 150 yards. Kelce had eight catches for 96 yards. Pringle finished with five catches for 29 yards.

Allen finished with 329 passing yards with four touchdown passes. Each of his touchdown passes went to Davis, who finished with eight catches for 201 yards.
