The Chiefs had been preparing all year for their wild 13-second drive that set up game-tying field goal

• The Chiefs went 44 yards in 13 seconds to kick a field goal to send the game into overtime.
• Andy Reid said the Chiefs practice late-game scenarios all season and commended their poise.

In a playoff game full of thrilling drives between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills, perhaps the most memorable was the Chiefs' 13-second drive into field-goal range to kick the game-tying field goal as time expired.

After the Bills had scored a touchdown in just 49 seconds on the drive before to take a 36-33 lead, the Chiefs had just 13 seconds left in the game to get into field-goal range.

Incredibly, they managed to do it, with Patrick Mahomes hitting Tyreek Hill for a 19-yard gain, then Travis Kelce for a 25-yard gain to get the offense to the Bills' 31-yard line. Having timeouts proved huge for Kansas City, as they could exploit the whole field and then stop the clock to run the next play.

From there, Harrison Butker nailed the 49-yard kick to force overtime.

It's a situation the Chiefs had prepared for all year.

According to Nate Taylor of The Athletic, Hill said the Chiefs practice plays every Friday to get them into field-goal range quickly. Hill said the meetings are often "boring."

After the game, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid praised offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy's poise in executing the game plan after practicing all year.

"You guys know we spend a lot of time on different situations. We continue that through the year," Reid said. "Every week we're working on something like that. You don't get to use that very often, but when you do, it's good to be prepared and good to have the guys that we have and the coaches that all work together to help get the right plays in and talking to the players. EB's got a tremendous amount of poise during that time when you've got a lot of people coming at you with different things. He just kind of calms the storm and goes for it."

The Chiefs hadn't had a scenario quite like going 44 yards in 13 seconds this year, but they faced a similar situation against the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. The Chiefs went 25 yards in 21 seconds to set up a 55-yard field goal by Harrison Butker before the end of the first half. However, in that instance, Mahomes hit Hill for a 25-yard gain on one play and the Chiefs weren't able to connect on any more passes to get closer.

Of course, that scenario did not carry the same amount of tension as Sunday, when the Chiefs' season was on the line. Kansas City still never cracked.

"Everything just worked out perfectly, exactly how it was supposed to work out," Hill said after the game.
