Mahomes, Allen show future of the NFL is in great hands

By Charlotte WilderFOX Sports ColumnistNobody lost the AFC divisional-round game between the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs.The Chiefs simply won. Patrick Mahomes and his Kansas City cronies secured the win with a touchdown in overtime before Josh Allen and his rowdy Buffalo Bills could even put their hands on the ball. Thanks to the NFL’s overtime rule that the first touchdown wins, and given that the entire game had been a shootout, it was clear whichever team won the coin toss was going to advance to the AFC Championship. Even Kelce, in his joyful postgame news conference, said, "It kind of was just whoever had the ball last that was going to win that game."Allen was transcendent, and so was Mahomes. The Chiefs sent the beautifully chaotic game into overtime and then beat the Bills with that Kelce touchdown. By the time the last game of the weekend began, I felt like I’d ridden a roller coaster after eating ice cream.And feeling dizzy was a tough place to start with this game, because if Rams-Bucs was a roller coaster, Bills-Chiefs was the second night of a bachelorette party in Vegas for that one friend who always does too much.
