The Bills demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity. In the most difficult moments, they made plays that just weren’t enough to make up for some of the elements that were out of their control,

PEBBLE BEACH — Jim Nantz is big on dates, and Tuesday marked the 40th anniversary of his first trip to Pebble Beach Golf Links for CBS Sports. It’s a sure bet that he will have a much larger role this weekend than he did for his first assignment.

Nantz is aware not only of the Chiefs’ quest to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls, but their attempt to join the New York Giants as the only teams to appear in a title game five times in a six-season span.

Interestingly enough, Kevin Harlan and Devin McCourty, calling the game for Westwood One Radio, also said there was a flag on the play, with McCourty speculating that it was for Bills offensive lineman Dion Dawkins taking his helmet off.

Broadcaster Jim Nantz lucked into calling Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning and Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen duels.

The one-sided rivalry between the Chiefs and Bills is known for a couple of things: Kansas City wins, Buffalo's sadness and forcing the NFL to make changes. After the overtime fiasco in 2022, the league changed the playoff rules. Both teams now possess the ball in overtime.

For a few seconds Sunday night, Jim Nantz — and the CBS scorebug — gave the Bills some hope during the fourth quarter of their AFC championship clash against the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Josh Allen’s final heave that went through the hands of a diving Dalton Kincaid had fallen incomplete.

After Buffalo's failed conversion on fourth and five with 2:01 to play in Sunday's AFC Championship, the thrill of victory (for Chiefs fans) and agony of defeat (for Bills fans) was temporarily suspended.
