Bills' Josh Allen focused on winning Super Bowl, not playoff loss to Chiefs

In what became an all-time classic NFL playoff game, the Buffalo Bills were unable to hold onto a three-point lead over the Kansas City Chiefs for the final 13 seconds of regulation this past January and ultimately lost the contest after Kansas City scored a touchdown on the only offensive drive of the overtime period. 

Per Sal Maiorana of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, Buffalo star quarterback Josh Allen spoke with reporters Wednesday during the team's voluntary offseason program and explained he wants to leave that heartbreaking result in the past where he feels it belongs. 

"Everybody wants to talk about that and it is what it is; it happened, there’s no going back," Allen said. "But if it was three months ago it might as well have been 10 years ago." 

Allen added he and his teammates already have their eyes on the prize of advancing to the final game of a postseason tournament, ideally as quickly as in February 2023. 

"We’ve completely turned our focus towards this next season and trying to figure out how do we take that next step? How do we win that Super Bowl? I’d be lying if I said that’s not what drives me, it’s to win a Super Bowl and get it done," Allen remarked. "That’s why you see so many guys here right now putting in that work to accomplish the goal that we want to accomplish." 

Before the Bills fell to the Chiefs in January, Allen discussed wanting to avenge Buffalo's 38-24 loss at Kansas City in the 2020 AFC Championship Game. It certainly wouldn't be a surprise if those two teams met again in a win-or-go-home playoff showdown after the upcoming regular season.
