As always, it was gut-wrenching time in the fourth quarter as the Bills were clinging to a 23-21 lead and were facing fourth-and-2 from the Chiefs’ 26 and McDermott knew what he had to do.
Allen was unable to play any games in the stadium during the 2014 season due to repairs. Allen reached an agreement with neighboring Plano ISD to play three "home games" using two of Plano's stadiums.
