Josh Allen, the league’s reigning MVP, gave everything he had, finishing with 283 passing yards and three touchdowns plus 66 rushing yards. But he also accounted for four turnovers—interceptions and fumbles—that ultimately swung the game in Denver’s favor and cost Buffalo a chance at the AFC Championship. 🏈🔥🔁
Buffalo had advantages on the stat sheet—outgaining the Broncos, more first downs, and control of the clock—yet five turnovers sunk them. The Bills entered as a strong offense with a league-top pass defense and a middling run defense, but their own mistakes proved to be the difference in the postseason defeat. 💥⏱️
Dawkins acknowledged the frustration and said he can’t wait to review the film to understand what happened on those plays. The Bills now face big questions heading into next season: their receiving corps struggled to stretch the field, with no WR posting 750 yards and only a couple above 400, while run defense also needs help. 🧵🤔
If Buffalo can add playmakers for Allen and bolster run support, they could mount another title push. But with AFC powers regrouping and questions about the roster, 2026 could be a make-or-break year—one that will determine whether this era’s window remains open or closes without another deep playoff run. 🧭🏆
