What Bills QB Josh Allen said about costly interception in Patriots loss
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen explains interception on final drive that ended chance to win the game.
Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen expressed disappointment following the Bills' 29-26 loss to the New England Patriots at Highmark Stadium. With just 74 seconds left on 2nd-and-6 at their own 40-yard line, Allen took the snap in an attempt to run down the clock and secure a win or go to overtime via a field goal. However, an unblocked New England defender, Dre Mont Jones, approached Allen, resulting in a costly interception.
Allen stated that his team "hurt ourselves tonight" and acknowledged that the offense, defense, and special teams all need improvement. The pick was not Allen's only questionable moment, as he earlier attempted an underhanded throw to avoid a safety, which fell safely to the ground. Despite this, Allen had a strong passing performance with 253 yards on 23-of-33 passes, including a touchdown and an interception.
The Bills now have a 3-1 record, but faced criticism for their performance, with head coach Joe Brady emphasizing the need to "clean it up" to become a Super Bowl contender.
