The situation came on the other side of the two-minute warning on Sunday night. With Kansas City clinging to a 32-29 lead, Allen and the Bills faced a do-or-die 4th-and-5 situation on their own 47-yard line. With Buffalo holding all three of their timeouts, Sean McDermott left his offense on the field to try and convert fourth down.

Hurts largely succeeded against the blitz on the NFC side of the playoff bracket. But the Los Angeles Rams, who sacked Hurts seven times in Philadelphia’s 28-22 win in the divisional round, gave the Eagles quarterback considerable trouble. Oftentimes it appeared his checkdown options were ill-placed or covered up entirely.

Stopping the Josh Allen tush push was a major part of the game and it is the play that is still being discussed as a lot of people think that it should've been a first down. It wasn't, and Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo spent a lot of time getting his team ready for plays just like that.

Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's use of the blitz could be Chiefs' key to beating the Bills in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday.

Yes, cornerback Trent McDuffie — historically an excellent pass-rusher from the outside, and one who helped save the Chiefs in last year’s Super Bowl with a well-timed rush — got the green light to attack Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Or, perhaps, he made that decision on his own.

The Kansas City Chiefs host the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in the AFC championship game for an opportunity to advance to their third-straight Super Bowl and a chance to complete a three-peat. But it's never easy preparing for the Bills and quarterback Josh Allen,

Countless fans believe the Buffalo Bills fell short to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship because of the referees. The players who actually competed on the field, however, don't view it that way.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Jones has certainly been a beneficiary of Spagnuolo’s defensive schemes, making six Pro Bowls and five All-Pro teams (three first team, two second team) since his arrival in K.C. With that being said, can you name every first and second team All-Pro defensive tackle since 2014?

The NFL's best teams, and best defenses, are some of the league's heaviest blitzers ... and also some of its lowest.
