“Wide Right.”
Those two words have haunted Buffalo Bills fans for decades, ever since Scott Norwood missed a last-second, game-winning field goal against the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXV.
The Bills ultimately fell in a 20-19 decision to the Giants and that 1990 season marked the first of four straight Super Bowl runs that all ended in losses for Buffalo.
On Sunday night, the Bills and their fans were reminded of such heartbreak.
In the final minutes of the Bills’ home divisional-round game against the defending Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs, current kicker Tyler Bass missed a game-tying, 44-yard field goal attempt… wide right.
The Chiefs would go on to get a first down, run the clock out to seal the win and advance to their sixth-straight AFC Championship.
For the Bills, this was the team’s third-straight exit in the Divisional Round, second straight at home, and the third time in four seasons they were booted from the playoffs by the Chiefs.
It was only natural that the Bills faithful, NFL enthusiasts and media took to social media to give their two cents on the miss.
