I love being a Buffalo Bill, I love this coaching staff… I can’t say enough about Josh.”‘

Bills players lament being so close, yet so far from Super Bowl after loss to Chiefs
‘“I feel like I’ve said this every year, there’s 31 unhappy teams,” said quarterback Josh Allen. “But I will say this about our team: emphasis on team. I think this is one of the more special units I’ve ever been around in my entire life, from Pop Warner through high school through college, in the NFL. Guys truly cared about each other. Everyone kind of understood their role and their assignment, and 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 you’re playing a team like the Chiefs, who have done it so well for so long, you got to not just knock, you got to kick the door down. And we didn’t do that.”’

Sean Kirst: After a lifetime of games like Sunday's, this Bills jersey still fits
‘They came home with this Buffalo Bills jersey, evoking Joe Ferguson – who wore 12 in the years long before Jim Kelly. I knew they bought it off the rack at the Hall of Fame gift store, which was the kind of purchase they simply didn’t make when we were growing up.’
The Editorial Board: It was a tough loss, but mourning should be mixed with pride and gratitude

Bills’ season ends with no answer for Mahomes, again

It was KC’s defense, instead, that made what might’ve been the game-deciding play on fourth-and-five just after the two-minute warning at midfield. KC defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo took a big risk, sending a blitz at Allen and forcing him into a desperate deep shot, unable to see Khalil Shakir open on the opposite side.’
