FILE - Buffalo Bills assistant special teams coach Matthew Smiley speaks with kicker Tyler Bass (2) during an NFL football game against the Los Angeles Rams, Sunday, Sept. 27, 2020, in Orchard Park, N.Y. There's little Matthew Smiley can do to change Buffalo kicking off into the end zone on a fateful play which contributed to the Bills squandering a 3-point lead in the final 13 seconds of regulation of a thrilling and heartbreaking overtime loss to Kansas City in an AFC Division playoff in January. Smiley, newly promoted special teams coordinator, addressed the issue on Tuesday, June 7, 2022. (AP Photo/Brett Carlsen, File)
