Josh Allen Breaks Down After Bills’ Playoff Elimination
Josh Allen is not hiding the fact that the loss was really hard for him.
Following the loss to Denver Broncos 33-30 in the NFL divisional round on Jan. 17, which ended the Buffalo Bills’ journey to the Super Bowl, the 29-year-old quarterback revealed how disappointed he felt.
“It’s really hard,” said Josh with tears in his eyes during the press conference right after the game. “I just feel like I let my teammates down tonight.”
Just last week, he and his team made history by achieving their first road playoff victory in more than three decades against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Jan. 11. However, Allen confided that he really wanted the playoff run to be successful.

Josh Allen Says Playoff Loss Will “Stick With Me” After Turnover-Filled Defeat
Josh Allen expressed that the Bills’ playoff defeat is something he will take personally for a long time.
“It’s been a season of ups and downs,” said 29-year-old in an additional video posted on X after the Buffalo 33–30 divisional-round loss to the Denver Broncos on Jan. 17. “I hate the way it ended. It’s going to stick with me for a long time.”
Besides, Allen highlighted the team’s mistakes which he thought were the difference of the game. “We can’t win a game with five turnovers,” he said and added, “Fumbled twice, threw two [interceptions]. If you keep making such kind of mistakes, football games are not for you.”
Not long before the loss, Allen commented on a photo of wife Hailee Steinfeld which showed her wearing Broncos gear at the 2016 Super Bowl. CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson reported that Allen chuckled and said he had “no idea it was floating around,” and joked that she was “probably paid” to go—he also stated that he “definitely wasn’t going to bring it up at home.”
