The Buffalo Bills have been one of the NFL's elite teams for the last half-decade, consistently making deep runs in the playoffs. 

While the Bills have come close to a Super Bowl appearance on multiple occasions, they have consistently run into the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs and have yet to defeat them in the postseason. 

The most infamous of their battles thus far came in 2022 when the two teams squared off in the divisional round of the 2021-22 AFC playoffs. Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes combined for 707 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and no interceptions. 

The Bills took a late lead with just 13 seconds left, but Kansas City had a quick series of plays that resulted in them ending up in field goal range for Harrison Butker to tie the game and send it into overtime where the Chiefs would go onto win without Allen seeing the field again. 

While appearing on "The Danza Project," former Bills safety Jordan Poyer was asked about the drive in which the Chiefs tied the game.

"From getting the ball back without much time, without squibbing the ball, and then [we] give up a freaking screen that goes 30 yards down the field to Tyreek [Hill]," Poyer said. "We [were] just playing soft zone. And you look back and you look at the "NFL Films" and you just see really how much more like connected [the Chiefs were] and they were just way better than us in that time."

Poyer was asked about the soft zones, and it was pointed out that Leslie Frazier seemed to call a lot of those styles of defenses, but Poyer didn't point any fingers. 

"You can point fingers here and there and elsewhere," Poyer said. "It was just an entire operation. There's not really one finger that you can point at all because it was the entire end of our game operation that wasn't good enough."

Poyer signed a one-year deal with the division-rival Miami Dolphins after seven seasons with the Bills.
