These are the games in which the decision to play to win or play not to lose matters most.
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott chose the former path when he called for his team to go for a fourth-and-2 while up two points on the Kansas City Chiefs with less than 3 minutes remaining.
His quarterback, Josh Allen, responded in storybook fashion. Following the snap, Allen sensed the pass-rushers around him and darted for the first-down line. The first down soon became a given; Allen wanted more. He scampered in for a clinching 26-yard rushing touchdown, and the Bills walked away as 30-21 winners against Patrick Mahomes and company in Week 11.
