Why Josh Allen will be haunted by this playoff loss to Chiefs more than ’13 seconds’ game

But Sunday’s conference title game is the one that got away from him — even more than the 13-second miracle. In that Divisional Round classic three years ago, the best football game I’ve ever witnessed in person, Allen did everything he could to win. He left some meat on the bone Sunday.’

It would’ve been incredible if he did but you just can’t let him get down in the dumps because of it.”’

I know he’s been battling throughout the entire year, bumps and bruises and probably games that he shouldn’t have played he was in, but he’s a tough sucker, and I got nothing but love for him, how he’s approached this year. He’s going to be so much better next year. Let his body heal up, and I’m going to be better, better for him, and I can promise you that.”‘

Coleman and Kincaid were both injured around the time same, for a similar duration in the middle of the season. After Kincaid’s return, in six outings — including the playoffs — he had 16 receptions for 163 yards and went over 50 yards in a single game once.’
Fire Sean McDermott? Bills reeling after latest Chiefs loss but only a fool would bring that hot take to table
