Best of NFL: Jeremy Maclin helps Chiefs win 5th straight

Taylor was just 7-of-12 for 55 yards, and he targeted Watkins only once, without success. Shockingly, the Bills offense never targeted Watkins in the second half and the Chiefs tightened up the rest of the field throughout the final 30 minutes. Remember that aggressive and confident tone he spoke in as he promised fans a return to the playoffs?

Those fond and fun memories have now become nothing more than meaningless words, a waste of breath that Rex will likely have to hear about for a long time coming, and after his disastrous job this past Sunday, deservedly so.

The Kansas City Chiefs won their fifth straight as Alex Smith threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns, and Spencer Ware ran for 114 yards and a score, in their 30-22 win over the Buffalo Bills at Arrowhead.

Over the past five years, the Chiefs have had four players gain at least 140 yards receiving in a single game, and Maclin has three of those games this season. And this one, the personal foul he actually gets, he doesn’t hit the quarterback with his front at all, he actually hits him with his back. But after jumping out to a 10-0 lead, their offense collapsed down the stretch.

And yet Watkins delivered the best game of his National Football League career on Sunday, catching six passes for 158 yards and two scores. “With the game being close like that with the weather conditions (rain and cold), you have to put your hands in the dirt and you’ve got to play inside the box”, said Ware. It was pure insanity to stop throwing Watkins’ way in the second half. It’s not like Watkins was a bust, but he just wasn’t playing up to the team’s high expectations. On the third offensive play of the game, they combined on a 48-yard completion. “In the second half, if we would have had more sense of urgency and were more alive, we would have gotten the win”.

That wasn’t Ryan’s only failure on the day.

By the time the Bills changed tactics, the Chiefs had set the tone. The Jeff Tuel game, the Bryce Brown game, those fond memories that burn Bills fan’s minds like a torch? It might help Ryan with his challenges and certainly would mean Bills fans won’t have to hear Carey’s occasional confusing explanations anymore on challenges during games. The veteran from the Philadelphia Eagles brought the combination of speed and pass catching to a Kansas City offense that lacked a receiver with both skills.

Jeremy Maclin had nine receptions for 160 yards and a touchdown, and Cairo Santos hit three field goals for the Chiefs (6-5), who also now own the tiebreaker over the Bills.

Wide receiver Chris Hogan made a seemingly obvious catch, apparently good for a first down at the 30, but officials called it incomplete.

And when asked about his failure to throw the red flag, Ryan offered some mystifying double talk. And why bother on Robert Woods’ non-catch. After this loss, the Bills may need a minor miracle to make the playoffs.

“They are a good backend, but we feel like Jeremy is the type of player who was going to win those battles, especially with the ball in the air”. I’m exhausted of being “in the hunt“. Rather than challenge the crucial call, Ryan instead ran a play on fourth-and-9, sealing his team’s fate. Obviously it’s another must-win situation for the Bills. Gee, it made you wonder how Seattle ever went to back-to-back Super Bowls.

It took going to the deep ball for them to erase their first half deficit.
