ESPN NFL analyst Ben Solak posted a five-minute video breaking down what could and should have happened on the Buffalo Bills' late failed fourth-down conversion attempt against the Kansas City Chiefs. In it he concludes that Josh Allen would have been best served by throwing a swing pass to Khalil Shakir and hope that the wide receiver could make the line to gain. Obviously, it is very easy for him to do this from the comfort of a computer chair as opposed to when an exotic Steve Spagnuolo blitz is bearing down from all angles.

Here's why I think Josh Allen shoulda thrown the swing to Khalil Shakir.

Think the zone/man pre-snap tells got him off Shakir early but that's still your best option. He still makes a great throw to Kincaid that shoulda been caught https://t.co/aAOezZv8oC pic.twitter.com/BKVDvcfdEk
