In Kansas City\u2019s 34-28 overtime loss to the Patriots in the AFC Championship game, New England captain Matthew Slater won the coin toss, the Patriots got first possession and scored a touchdown. Kansas City never touched the ball, ending its season. <\/p>\n<p>After that loss, Kelce, who scored the winning touchdown Sunday night, was vocal about how the overtime structure was unfair. <\/p>\n<p>Under the same format this time, Kelce and the Chiefs were the beneficiaries. <\/p>\n<p>When it was suggested to Kelce back then that each team should be guaranteed a possession in overtime, he said, \u201cI think it\u2019s a little bit more fair.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He said he was \u201cdefinitely in favor of\u2019\u2019 the league amending the rule, adding, \u201cBeing in that situation, really having no rebuttal, it\u2019s kind of tough.\u201d <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-1237947154.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Travis Kelce hauls in the game-winning touchdown in overtime. \" class=\"wp-image-20940790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-1237947154.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-1237947154.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-1237947154.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-1237947154.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Travis Kelce hauls in the game-winning touchdown in overtime. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Icon Sportswire via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Just ask the Bills. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cGuys are hurt,\u2019\u2019 Bills head coach Sean McDermott said. \u201cWe\u2019re all hurt, sick to our stomachs.
