Ryan Succop kicked a 35-yard field goal as time expired in overtime to lift the Kansas City Chiefs to a 13-10 victory over the winless Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
Succop had a chance to win the game with 3:38 to go in OT, but his 39-yard attempt with 3:38 to go hooked left at the last instant.
Buffalo’s Rian Lindell hit what would have been a 53-yard game-winner earlier in the overtime but the kick was nullified because the Chiefs had called their last time out. Forced to do it again, Lindell kicked a wobbler that hit the right upright.
The Chiefs (5-2) rushed for more than 200 yards for the third week in a row, but constantly stopped themselves with mistakes and penalties.
The Bills (0-7), who lost in overtime to Baltimore the week before, are off to the third-worst start in franchise history.
If Succop’s second kick had missed, the game would have ended in the first tie in the NFL since Philadelphia and Cincinnati finished 13-all on Nov. 16, 2008.
