The Buffalo Bills played it safe in Sunday's AFC Championship loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Sean McDermott opted to kick two field goals within the Chiefs' 10-yard line rather than go for it on fourth down. The kicks came just before halftime and in the third quarter. They also came during a 24-6 run by Kansas City.

"I thought about going for it on both occasions. Maybe if I had to do it over again, I would have went for maybe one of them," McDermott said.

"But the one before the half, I wanted to get points. We were having trouble coming up with points, and I wanted to at least have something to show for it going into the half, especially knowing they were getting the ball after half. I'll look back at that and reevaluate that, especially the one after half there, and as an entire team, we'll learn from the experience."
