What's the plan to get Bills' Josh Allen more offensive help?
‘”I cut my teeth around Andy Reid who was a pass-first, you throw to win [coach]. And that has been my philosophy since day one pretty much here,” McDermott said. “Especially since Josh has grown into a player and the quarterback that he has. … I do believe though that you’ve got to be able to control the line of scrimmage and run when you need to run. So, I think it is important that we have that ability to run the football, in particular in Western New York.”‘

Jim Kubiak: What happened to Bills, Josh Allen on last series and what's next?
‘In my opinion, the offensive game plan was spot on. Heading into the game, the Bills’ offense knew it needed to possess the football and score, neutralizing the Chiefs’ ability to attack an injury-riddled defense that simply could not hold up any longer. The calculation and the execution that it took to put the ball in Allen’s hands, on perhaps the final drive with 8:23 remaining and a three-point deficit was perhaps what head coach Sean McDermott had dreamed of. It was the best case scenario as the Bills drained the clock, systematically progressing down the field into scoring position. Had they scored a touchdown on the last drive, the Bills would have won the game, giving the Chiefs almost nothing to work with. At least that was the plan.’
