Special Teams

One of the biggest critiques coming out of this game will be how many times the Buffalo Bills settled for field goals. While the Buffalo Bills coaching staff wouldn’t get a good grade for the field goal attempts, Tyler Bass showed he can play on a big stage.

The rookie kicker was coming off a game with two misses last week against the Ravens. This week, on the road in the AFC Championship Game he responded with four field goals, including two over 50 yards. However, he did miss an extra point early in the game that would have put the Bills up 10 in the first quarter.

As for Corey Bojorquez, he continued to play at a high level with three punts for an average of 49.8 yards per punt.

Grade: B+

Buffalo Bills Final Grade

The Buffalo Bills season didn’t end as anyone wanted and the way it ended makes it a little tougher. The Bills had ascended this season to being one of the best teams in the AFC and on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs they didn’t look that way.

There is plenty to feel optimistic about and the Buffalo Bills franchise certainly appears to be heading in the right direction but there is also plenty to work on and address in the coming offseason.

Grade: C-
