The Buffalo Bills' Super Bowl drought continues another year as they fell short in the AFC Championship game Sunday evening to the Kansas City Chiefs, knocking out the last two former West Virginia Mountaineers in the NFL playoffs.

Cornerback Rasul Douglas was looking to capture his second Super Bowl ring after having one win with the Philadelphia Eagles in his rookie season back in 2017. His position coach, Jahmile Addae, was looking for a special ending to his rookie year as a coach in the league. Instead, got a taste of the unfortunate feeling of falling short to arguably the greatest player to ever play the game.

Super Bowl 59 will be played on February 9th in New Orleans between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles - neither of whom have a former Mountaineer on the roster.
