Is the complacency creeping in the Bills? This question comes in as they are the only team this year that has defeated the Chiefs. But they lost to the Rams 42-44 in week 15 game on December 9. In the week 16 matchup, Josh Allen & Co. faced unexpectedly tough competition from their divisional rivals, New England Patriots. However, they won the game 24-21, their QB came forward with some comments after the game.
During the post-game conference, Josh Allen was neither happy nor sad. When asked about his connection with receivers like Keon Coleman and Amari Cooper, he replied, “Yeah, always working. (I) feel like we can definitely be better there in the past game, as a as a general, as a total today. (It) wasn’t our best effort, so something we’ll learn from.” So that’s his strong demand. He was intense while talking to the reporters.
It’s that time of the season when you want to win, especially after qualifying for the playoffs. Josh Allen would want to enter the postseason on a winning note. They play the Patriots again in their matchup of the regular season. So that would be worth watching. Even in the next game, the QB would be up against Aaron Rodgers’ Jets.

The O-line has been performing fine. After week 15, Pro Football Network ranked them 3rd in the league, only behind the Broncos (1st) and Ravens (2nd). But the Pats showed that the Bills’ O-line needs work, as the Patriots’ defense blocked the Bills QB. While Drake Maye recorded 22 of 36 passes in 261 passing yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception, Allen had 16 of 29 passes in 154 passing yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception.
However, the fans would want him to go all in. He has been in the best form of his career. It could be one of those years, he would always remember.
Josh Allen revealed his injury status
While the QB was worried about the O-line, the fans are worried about him. He revealed the elbow injury in his throwing hand after the game and said, “Yeah, a little elbow. I don’t know if it was the elbow or helmet or the ground but lost some feeling in my hand, just hit the funny bone nerve and went to throw the ball and just had no feeling in the hand.” But there’s nothing to worry about now.

The injury healed in the game itself. He’s a tough player as well. While talking about what happened afterward, he added, “It took a good five 5 to 10 minutes. So just making sure trying to get some blood flow back in there and some activation, you know. When it’s cold like that too it if the more you leave it out the number the whole hand gets so it was a weird feeling um just glad it’s gone now.” That’s an enormous relief to the fans.
He’s their record-maker. He was the first to throw 3 passing and 3 rushing touchdowns in a single game (against the Rams). Overall, he has also emerged as a player who could play in very adverse climates, including snow storms. So, the fans need him in the playoffs.
