"Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen, through tears and sobs at the podium after losing a heartbreaker to the Denver Broncos in overtime, took full responsibility for the loss. Allen claimed he let his team down, but his teammates, namely OL Dion Dawkins did not agree. The Bills, led by Allen, finished the season with a 12-5 record and the sixth seed in the conference. He had his usual statistical results, throwing and running all over defenses, willing his team to victory, and finishing the year with 3,668 yards passing, 39 total touchdowns, and just 10 interceptions on 69.3% passing."
"Many will point to the officials after questionable calls in overtime directly affected the results of the game. First, with the Bills driving for the go-ahead score in overtime, Allen threw a deep post to Brandin Cooks. Cooks secured the football in the air, but when his back hit the ground, the ball popped free from his arms and was wrestled away by the Broncos defender. The Bills' sideline was arguing that Cooks was down by contact, but after review, the initial call stood. Broncos football. Nix drove the team down the field for the game-winning field goal after a couple of ticky-tack pass interference calls granted them 47 free yards."
