The Buffalo Bills are still in championship purgatory, and one play in particular doomed them, because they ignored one primary schematic trait from Steve Spagnuolo

For Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, that will mean attempting to confuse and disrupt Bills quarterback Josh Allen. This will be the ninth matchup between the veteran

The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills may be familiar with one another because of the number of times they have matched up over the last five years, but that truth does not drive away the difficulty for Steve Spagnuolo in preparing for Josh Allen.

The situation came on the other side of the two-minute warning on Sunday night. With Kansas City clinging to a 32-29 lead, Allen and the Bills faced a do-or-die 4th-and-5 situation on their own 47-yard line.

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. Oftentimes it appeared his checkdown options were ill-placed or covered up entirely.

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,
