Draft:Wide Right II (Buffalo Bills)

  • Comment: Personally still not sold on the longstanding notability of this game. It's trying too hard to match up the circumstances between the past game and it just doesn't have the longstanding ramifications that the other one did. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:37, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: I am almost certain this would be deleted if accepted because whether it had a lasting impact has not been shown. SportingFlyer T·C 18:08, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Wide Right (Buffalo Bills) was notable because it was a game-winning field goal attempt at the end of the Super Bowl. This is based on a field goal to tie a game in the divisional round (quarter finals). The game broke divisional round viewership records and that should be mentioned in Bills–Chiefs rivalry and 2023–24 NFL playoffs, but that's based on the matchup and has no bearing on the notability of a specific field goal attempt. There have been a number of Super Bowls and play off games that could have gone to OT with field goal kicks that didn't and those don't have their own articles because they don't hold the same weight as Wide Right (Buffalo Bills) did. I'll let someone else evaluate this though. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:20, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: I added references to show notability in other ways. The article has broken NFL viewership records. In addition, there were other notable occurrences in the game. If necessary, move this article to 2023 AFC Divisional Round (Buffalo-Kansas City), but this definitely meets the criteria for a stand alone article and cannot effectively be summarized in a section on the playoff page without cutting off lots of information.12.74.238.46 (talk) 19:38, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: I don't believe this passes WP:NSPORTSEVENT. Wide left or right kicks that result in heart breaking losses happen every season and there's nothing about this game that sets it apart from the rest. This is better suited for a section within Bills–Chiefs rivalry. If interested in resubmitting, please add more references. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:26, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Wide Right II was a play that transpired in the AFC Divisional playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills in which Bills kicker Tyler Bass missed a game-tying field goal from 44 yards to the right of the goalposts. They would ultimately go on to lose 27–24. It took place almost 33 years to the date of Scott Norwood's missed game-winning field goal at the end of Super Bowl XXV, which similarly went wide right.[1][2]
