Josh Allen laments not throwing ball away, after interception seals Bills loss to New England
In a heartbreaking loss to New England, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen expressed regret over his decision to throw a deep pass into double coverage, resulting in an interception that sealed the game. This decision came after he had just escaped a sack by New England's Dre’Mont Jones. The missed opportunity left the Bills trailing 29-26, as they were within field goal range.
Allen acknowledged that he should have thrown the ball out of bounds instead, emphasizing the importance of learning from mistakes. With the loss, the Bills dropped to 3-1 and were quickly overtaken by division rival New England, now sitting at 2-2 and just one game behind the top spot. The game also highlighted Buffalo's offensive struggles, as they were coming off a five-turnover game against the Chargers and committed two more to New England.
Quarterback Allen has struggled with turnovers in his recent outings, culminating in three interceptions and a lost fumble in his past two games. Head coach Joe Brady tried to take the blame, stating that he needs to call better plays in those situations. Allen, who recently broke the team record for passing touchdowns, also scored on a 2-yard run, becoming the team's all-time leading passer from scrimmage.
The Bills now face a challenging road trip starting with a Monday Night Football game against the Los Angeles Rams, while dealing with injuries to key players DJ Moore and Ed Oliver.
