Hear Mitch Holthus, Kevin Harlan radio calls of Bills’ missed field goal vs. Chiefs
Bills kicker Tyler Bass had some troubles during a Wild Card game win over the Steelers, and there’s no knowing if that was on his mind Sunday.
Against Pittsburgh, Bass missed a field-goal attempt and had another try blocked. Bass made his first field-goal try in Sunday’s AFC Divisional playoff game against the Chiefs. But with under 2 minutes to play, his potential game-tying attempt from 44 yards was wide right and the Chiefs won 27-24.
“Ultimately, it’s completely on me. I’ve got to do a better job of getting through to my target,” Bass told reporters, per ESPN. “I’ve got to do a better job of playing it a little bit more left when you have a left-to-right (wind). I’ve been here long enough to know that you have to do that. You know, I was trusting my line that I had in warmups. Hit a good ball, but it didn’t work out. I feel terrible, you know? I love this team and it hurts. This one hurts bad. Yeah, I’ve got to do a better job. Totally on me.”
Here is how Kevin Harlan called the missed field goal for Westwood One, along with the Chiefs’ ensuing victory.
“The Bills’ kicker missed a field goal wide right! Jubilation for the Chiefs sideline!” Harlan said.
Chiefs radio voice Mitch Holthus noted the problem Bass had the previous week on his call of Sunday’s missed field goal.
“A little prophecy!” Holthus cried out after the miss.
