The Buffalo Bills had their season come to an end Sunday night with a devastating loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game. Their final offensive play will be thought about by a lot by players and fans over the offseason, as the failed 4th-and-5 came so close to being converted on a desperate heave by Josh Allen.

Stopping the Josh Allen tush push was a major part of the game and it is the play that is still being discussed as a lot of people think that it should've been a first down. It wasn't, and Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo spent a lot of time getting his team ready for plays just like that.
