The NFL’s playoff overtime rules are among the worst in all of sports. With so much on the line, the league is willing to let a coin toss essentially decide a playoff game.
The Bills experienced that harsh reality during the AFC Divisional round loss to the Chiefs, and one week later, Josh Allen was having flashbacks.
The Bengals scored 21 straight points in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game before a last-second Chiefs field goal forced overtime. It was seemingly setting up a scenario for the Chiefs to win the coin toss and the game without Joe Burrow touching the ball. That didn’t happen this time with Mahomes’ interception and Bengals win to reach the Super Bowl, but still, Allen’s reaction to the coin toss was so good.
