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.

Hurts largely succeeded against the blitz on the NFC side of the playoff bracket. But the Los Angeles Rams, who sacked Hurts seven times in Philadelphia’s 28-22 win in the divisional round, gave the Eagles quarterback considerable trouble.

The NFL's best teams, and best defenses, are some of the league's heaviest blitzers ... and also some of its lowest.
Another week, another trip to the Super Bowl for the Kansas City Chiefs, and another coaching masterclass from Steve Spagnuolo. A key piece to Kansas City advancing to its fifth Super Bowl in the last six seasons and now set to attempt the NFL's first-ever three-peat was the defensive effort led by Spagnuolo,
