Bills beat AFC East for the first time since 1995 this season and won their first playoff game since that year on Saturday.
Quarterback Josh Allen scored 26 from 35 to 324 yards and two touchdowns in a game played in front of Bills fans for the first time this season. Allen, who also ran 11 times for 54 yards and a scoreboard, said he was “super excited for the fan base” after the win and that he is not sure if “the guys really understand the meaning and impact of winning a game of playoff for this franchise. ”
They will have a chance to find out this week as they prepare for yet another home game against an undetermined opponent.
“We want to earn more,” said Allen, through Matt Parrino of NewYorkUpstate.com. “One is not good enough for us and we have to find a way to do our best this week and try to perform next week, regardless of who we play.”
If Bills is going to double in the playoff wins, the defense will need to strengthen after allowing 472 yards and turning a 14 point lead into a nail break. Allen took some late bags and almost missed a disaster in that fourth period, so there are things to clean up around.
