If you watch the overhead shot, Buffalo was also wasting defenders guarding the sidelines, which is another coaching mistake. The Chiefs had all their timeouts, so the sideline was not a factor. They were going up the middle because that was the fastest way to get a catch. Sideline patterns obviously take more time.

Watch the one Bills defender near Kelce, he bluffs a cut to the sideline and the defender bites. He then runs overcovered up the middle for the easy catch and run to set up the FG.

Buffalo's coaches had no idea what they were doing, and they called two defensive timeouts and were still out of position. And the HC is a defensive coordinator in his early jobs.
