The curious case of the Buffalo Bills’ final 13 seconds against the Kansas City Chiefs continues. - However, special teams ace Taiwan Jones did open up on the topic during an interview with the About The Game Podcast. At first, not much different was offered. - “Without getting too much into it, it was just communication issues,” Jones, who was out on the field during the kickoff, said. “It was a big factor that there was miscommunication.” - That sounded similar to Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott. All McDermott would say following the 13-second incident is that “execution” did not happen. - Continuing, Jones does not say anything too jarring. Although, he did allude to the fact that what happened… maybe wasn’t supposed to happen. - Jones referenced that he was expecting to have an opportunity to make a play - “And that happened. Me being on the kickoff team, I was looking forward to that moment,” Jones said. - “When you on special teams, you don’t really get in the spotlight or nothing like that. So that was a key moment for special teams guys where it’s like, ‘oh, we can make a difference in this game.’ To not get that chance it was like, ‘ooooh.’ And then for it to happen like that? It was just like [exasperated breath],” Jones added. - Again, Jones does not directly say that kicker Tyler Bass was not supposed to kick a touchback as he did. But by “not getting a chance to make a play,” one can assume Jones was referencing something else was supposed to go down. - Perhaps a squib kick, or Jones at least expected the ball was going to be in the field of play. - But have at it for yourself. Here’s the segment referenced via Bills Wire‘s Bradley Gelber: - - Interesting to hear #Bills Special Teams Captain, Taiwan Jones, discuss the squib debate at the end of the KC playoff game on a recent podcast.
