Josh Allen Reacts to Bills' NFL Playoff Loss to Bo Nix, Broncos in Emotional Video

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen took the blame for his team's Saturday night elimination from the divisional round of the 2025 NFL playoffs.

"I feel like I let my teammates down tonight," Allen said in an emotional postgame press conference following the Bills' 33-30 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos.

When asked if he had a message for his teammates after the game, Allen said, "I haven't been doing a lot of talking, other than, I love my teammates, and I'm extremely sorry and disappointed in how this ended."

Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins, who was also emotional after the loss, told reporters Allen "didn't let us down."

A pass from Allen to Brandin Cooks was ruled as an interception by Broncos cornerback Ja'Quan McMillian on the Bills' first overtime drive, giving Denver the chance to score a game-winning field goal on their next possession.

Cooks wrestled for the catch with McMillan, who emerged with the ball. Officials ruled the drive had ended in an interception.

Allen said after the game he had not received an explanation about the call.

On the Broncos' following drive, Bo Nix then led his team within field goal range before Wil Lutz sealed the win with a 23-yarder.

Earlier in the game, Allen had led the Bills back from a 10-point first-half deficit to grab a lead early in the fourth quarter.

After the Broncos answered, Allen directed a late field-goal drive to tie the score and send the game to overtime.

"This is a team that's, again, we were battle-tested. Battle-tested all year," Allen said. "Down two scores at halftime. Come out, sack, fumble, hold them to three. Find ourselves leading that game. And if one or two plays go our way, it's a different story."

It will instead be the Broncos advancing to the AFC Championship Game, where Nix will get the chance to take on either the Houston Texans or New England Patriots for a shot at playing in Super Bowl LX.

Allen will meanwhile have to wait at least one more year to try and help the Bills win their first Super Bowl.
