Go back several years to that fantastic finish between the Chiefs and Bills. Buffalo took the lead with around 12 seconds left. They also kicked it into the endzone. Now KC had time for two plays and two timeouts, getting them into FG range for the game winning kick. What are these coaches thinking?

They are thinking "don't over think it". They are trying not to complicate the situation for the players, or for an individual player. Coaches do not like having to trust the kicker and a bunch of reserves making the league minimum.
