'Superman' Josh Allen 'Going to Keep Wearing That Crown...He's Not Going Anywhere,' Says Bills' Knox

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox doesn't believe Saturday's heartbreaking 33-30 defeat to the Denver Broncos in the AFC divisional round changes anything about quarterback Josh Allen.

"The type of leader he is — the type of man he is — he's naturally going to put it all on himself," Knox said after the game, per The Athletic's Michael Silver. "That's something we can't let him do. He's going to keep wearing that crown. He's Superman, and he's not going anywhere."

Allen threw for 283 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions, and he lost two fumbles.

All of the turnovers proved costly for Buffalo. Allen's fumble late in the second quarter gifted Denver three points to end the half, and his second pick set up the Broncos' game-winning drive.

The four-time Pro Bowler got emotional in his postgame press conference when reflecting on the loss.

Being the star quarterback for an NFL team is a heavy burden, and Allen's reaction after the contest reflected that. Seven years into his career, the wait for a Super Bowl title continues.

Saturday was the case of a QB trying to do too much because his supporting cast was lacking.

"It makes us even more sad, because this ain't on him," offensive tackle Dion Dawkins said. "It's not on him."

Allen had a threadbare receiving corps. Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Brandin Cooks were the only healthy regulars, with Curtis Samuel activated off injured reserve a day before the game.

The Bills defense, meanwhile, allowed the Broncos to go 8-of-16 on third downs and watched Denver march 73 yards and then 75 yards on touchdown drives in the fourth quarter and overtime.

Allen was far from faultless for his team's postseason exit. The result was arguably down to much bigger issues that had been glaring all year.
