Bills rally around former Utah star after playoff heartbreak
‘Knox continued, “We wouldn’t be in this game if it weren’t for Dalton. … The work he puts in, what he brings to this offense, it’s invaluable. I’m gonna try to make sure he doesn’t tell himself any lies or believe anything that’s just not true because he expects himself to make that play. It would’ve been incredible if he did but you just can’t let him get down in the dumps because of it.”’

Josh Allen, Bills players defend Dalton Kincaid amid backlash
‘”I got to be better for him. I didn’t feel like I put him in enough good situations this year, ball-placement-wise,” Allen said. “… He can sit there and think about that play over and over, but I got to be better for him. That’s what it comes down to, and get him more involved. 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.”‘

Chiefs remain an unsolvable roadblock for Bills
‘So, to get to the AFC Championship Game, to be leading it on the road after three quarters, to be down three with 3:33 to play and the ball on their own 30-yard line? Well, there’s no shame in that. But teams don’t play to expectations set for a single season. There’s always a larger story and a broader context. That’s why Sunday night’s 32-29 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs earned its place high on the list of heartbreaking Buffalo defeats.’
