Josh Allen on Bills' Loss to Chiefs: 'To Be the Champs, You Got to Beat the Champs'

Following the Buffalo Bills' 32-29 AFC Championship Game loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Josh Allen shared candid thoughts after falling to the defending champions.

"To be the champs, you got to beat the champs, and we didn't do it tonight," Allen told reporters after the loss.

The 28-year-old quarterback played valiantly on Sunday, completing 64.7 percent of his passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns.

Allen and the Bills fell to the Chiefs once again on Sunday, marking their fourth playoff loss to Kansas City since 2020, including two Divisional Round defeats and two AFC Championship heartbreaks.

On Sunday, it felt as though the Bills might finally conquer their "Final Boss," with the game tied at 29 and just 6:15 remaining in the fourth quarter. However, the Bills fell short once more, leaving their Super Bowl aspirations unfulfilled.

"You can either get it done or you can't, and we didn't get it done," Allen told reporters.

Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs advanced to their third consecutive Super Bowl, seeking to achieve a feat never accomplished in NFL history: a three-peat as champions.

With Mahomes and the Chiefs' success, the Bills are far from the only team to suffer a heartbreaking loss at their hands.

"They've ended a lot of teams' seasons, too. It's a good squad. They had a good plan tonight, and again they made one more play than we did," Allen told reporters.

Ironically, Allen and the Bills hold a 4-1 record against the Chiefs in the regular season, even handing them one of their two losses this season in a 30-21 victory back in November.

The Bills and Allen will head into the offseason with plenty to ponder, searching for that extra edge needed to finally overcome Mahomes and the Chiefs next season.
