Any postmortem of a tough season-ending loss is going to include some lingering what-if moments.

Such is the case for Bills quarterback Josh Allen.

A week after the Chiefs’ 32-29 win over Buffalo in the AFC Championship Game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, Allen talked with the Associated Press’ Rob Maaddi about how he’s processed the loss to the Chiefs.

Allen admitted it’s been tough and he’s thought about plays he wishes he could have back.

“It sucks. You’re sitting here thinking about everything that you could have done differently,” Allen said. “I’m having dreams about certain plays that I wish I could have back. There’s no easy way about it. There’s 30 other teams right now sitting at home, gonna be watching the Super Bowl from their couch and we’re one of those teams.

“I’m gonna keep doing everything that I can do to make sure that we’re not one of those teams going into the season next year. Gotta let the body heal a little bit, but getting back to work and making sure that I’m getting back to my mechanic work and just making sure that I’m doing everything that I can do to help this team get over that hump and win the Super Bowl.”

Video of Allen talking about that loss to the Chiefs was shared on X/Twitter.
