I was able to revisit 13 seconds after we won the Super Bowl last year.

This time around, I'm trying to do it differently.

I did that in 2020 after beating the Bills in the AFCCG.

I saw someone mention that on reddit today... and I'm sure it's why Allen started playing hero ball last weekend, plus the fake punt.

And it's a huge part of what makes playoff experience so special... do you panic and do something stupid, or do you continue doing what you've always done.

If Allen scored a TD playing hero ball when he ignored Diggs, it would have had almost the same amount of time left in the game as when the Bills went up 29-26 after his 4th and 13 TD in the 13 seconds game (a game where 26 more points would be scored despite there being less than two minutes left in the game).

Funnily enough, on Sunday we saw the alt universe where Allen underthrows Davis on 4th and 13 and the 13 seconds game ends with the victory formation on a 26-21 win..
