Bills' Tyler Bass: 'I Got to Be Better' After Missing FG in Playoff Loss to Chiefs

The Buffalo Bills lost Sunday's Divisional Round game against the Kansas City Chiefs for a number of reasons, but Tyler Bass' missed 44-yard field goal in the final two minutes stands out.

To the kicker's credit, he spoke with reporters after the 27-24 loss and said he should have adjusted for the wind more than he did.

He also said "I got to be better" multiple times:

It was a crushing ending to a back-and-forth game for a Bills team that has now been eliminated by the Chiefs in three of the last four playoffs.

Josh Allen accounted for three touchdowns, two of which came on the ground, and seemingly had an answer for Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City every time throughout the contest. When Travis Kelce's touchdown in the second quarter put the Chiefs ahead, Allen ran it in right before halftime to swing the advantage back to the home team.

Then Allen found Khalil Shakir for a touchdown late in the third quarter after Kelce hauled in a go-ahead touchdown for the second time in the game.

Yet Isiah Pacheco's touchdown was the only score of the fourth quarter. The Bills tried a fake punt that gave the Chiefs excellent field position, but Mecole Hardman Jr.'s fumble out of the end zone for a touchback kept Buffalo within one score.

However, the Bills' final two possessions ended in a punt and the missed field goal.

There was a Stefon Diggs drop and some missed throws by Allen mixed in before Bass' kick attempt that could have changed the final outcome of the game. The defense also struggled to keep Kansas City in check, as Mahomes and Kelce connected for two touchdowns while Pacheco ran for 97 yards and a score.

But that probably won't help Bass feel much better about his missed kick that could have helped force overtime.
