QB Josh Allen emotionally took responsibility postgame for the loss, tearfully expressing that he felt like he had let his team down.

One of the players who is part of this Bills team's heartbeat, offensive lineman Dion Dawkins, was also brought to tears when told that Allen said he felt he let his team down during an interview in the locker room. Dawkins fought through tears, quietly saying, “he didn’t let us down.”It was a hard ending to the season. The Bills had opportunities and turnovers that impacted the game, including 2 interceptions and 3 fumbles by the QB. There were also miscalls and no-calls by the officiating crew that cost Buffalo. They included a defensive pass interference no-call on Broncos corner Riley Moss, which would have given the Bills a position at the 1-yard line in regulation, and a pivotal deep catch down by contact in overtime that would have placed the ball around the 20-yard line for a chance at the game-winning points.
