‘Yet when Josh Allen plays just OK rather than with his usual greatness, it makes a difference. Especially at the start of the game, Josh was just off. Whether it was nerves or Steve Spagnola’s blitzing or just the law of averages bringing Josh back toward the pack, we’ll never know.’

‘“We had a huge internal belief when we all got here for camp, and we worked extremely hard to get to where we got. We’re constantly knocking at the door and playing a team like the Chiefs who have done it for so long, you can’t just knock you got to kick the door down. We didn’t do that,” Allen said.’
Bills defend Kincaid after fourth-down drop
‘“I’ve got to be better for him,” Allen said. “I feel like I didn’t put him in enough good situations this year, ball placement-wise. Even the one last night across the middle, I left it behind him, allowed 32 to make a play on it. Again, he can sit there and think about that play over and over, but I’ve got to better for him. That’s what it comes down to.”’

Bills fan from Australia travels to Kansas City for AFC Championship
‘“The first game was the Super Bowl, the unfortunate loss in Pasadena,” said the fan from Australia. “Red, white, and blue colors. That’s the colors of my home football team in Australia.

Josh Allen reflects on the 2024 season and looks ahead to what's next
‘”You keep going back and thinking about what you could have done differently,” Allen said. “Plays even throughout the game, it’s something that’s so little, but dropping the snap on that 2nd & 6 and turning into a 3rd& 9 (Buffalo’s second drive of game). Where I probably catch the ball, and I dart it to Coop and it’s 3rd & 1 and one instead of 3rd & 9. Again, it’s not going to be in the stat sheet, but as a competitor, I think of those things of like, ‘Man, only if I could have done this differently.'”‘

Observations: Bills' season comes to a crushing end with a loss to Chiefs in AFC championship game
‘With a trip to the Super Bowl on the line, the Bills fell short to the team they can’t seem to figure out when it matters most, losing the AFC championship game 32-29 on a cold, thrilling, tense Sunday night at Arrowhead Stadium. It’s the fourth time in the past five years the Chiefs eliminated the Bills from the playoffs – something one team has never done to another in NFL history.’
Ryan O'Halloran: Legacy game again eludes Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen
‘It was another lonely journey for Allen, partly because he was the final offensive player to exit and partly because he was acutely aware of the opportunity the Bills had just squandered in yet another epic playoff loss to the Chiefs, 32-29 in the AFC championship game. These chances are precious and fleeting and well-earned.’
Dalton Kincaid's fourth-down drop derails Buffalo Bills' comeback
‘The catch would have been impressive. Coming out of the two-minute warning, the Bills faced fourth-and-5 from their own 47-yard line. The Chiefs came for Bills quarterback Josh Allen quickly. Allen had Kansas City defensive end George Karlaftis in his face, with Karlaftis hitting Allen right as he threw the ball. Still, Allen heaved the ball 30-plus yards downfield, and Kincaid had his hands on it.’
Three questions: How do the Bills upgrade their defense after yet another loss to the Chiefs?
‘There needs to be some soul-searching within the entire organization on the defensive side of the ball. Kansas City scored its most points of the season and rolled up 28 first downs. Houston’s defense held the Chiefs to just 14 first downs – half of Sunday’s total! – last week.’
Takeaways, game balls, gassers from the Bills' AFC title game loss to Kansas City
‘It’s fair to question whether Bills cornerback Christian Benford should have been playing a week after he suffered a concussion against Baltimore. He didn’t even make it through the first quarter against the Chiefs after a helmet-to-helmet hit by safety Damar Hamlin. Benford was held up by cornerback Rasul Douglas before eventually getting a cart ride to the locker room and being ruled out with another concussion.’
