National reactions: Bills’ Josh Allen takes brunt of loss to Chiefs
The Buffalo Bills have fallen short once again in the postseason… and another one with the Kansas City Chiefs on the opposite sideline.
The Bills fell in a 27-24 fashion. The Chiefs win puts the spotlight on a familiar quarterback rivalry: Josh Allen against Patrick Mahomes.
Unfortunately for Allen, following another playoff loss to his counterpart, he is being put in the crosshairs of many.
A national media roundup of reactions to the Bills’ loss to the Chiefs can be found below:

absolutely no idea what Josh Allen was trying to do with their 2 plays after the 2 minute warning
you need 9 yards to gain a 1st down
you have 2 plays
he ignores underneath options on both throws
and chucks 25+ yards into the end zone 2x when you don't even want/need a TD pic.twitter.com/5lHLkMHbu6

Bills fans DO NOT blame Tyler Bass… deep down you KNOW even if he made it, Mahomes was just going to rip your heart out in even more excruciating fashion.

Josh Allen completed all 16 of his passes thrown behind the line of scrimmage, tied for the most completions behind the LOS in a game in the NGS era.
Allen completed just 10 of 21 passes beyond the LOS for 95 yards & a TD (2 completions past the sticks).#KCvsBUF | #BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/B1OKQUivJp

Yo!! Watching this game with Allen & Mahomes, after Baltimore & Lamar yesterday makes me think… “How does Brock Purdy beat any of these dudes?”

I think we have to accept the fact that Josh Allen is more Phillip Rivers than Peyton Manning.
Still a phenomenal player, but there’s levels.

Bills Mafia, I feel for you. Respect the hell out of the team, but you CANNOT run it back. It's broken. It doesn't work. You won't be better, just older.

Didn’t think any defeat could be more bitter than what happened to the #Bills in those 13 seconds.
This has got to be close. At home, QB played so well, comes down to a kick. Gonna be a long, long winter in Buffalo.

The Bills are in a bad salary cap place now. That was their shot.

You could feel the pain in Bills stadium after this missed field goal. This felt like the Bills shot — Josh Allen playing great ball, 6-game win streak, playing at home — but they fall to Patrick Mahomes & Chiefs again in playoffs.
Now 0-3 in last 4 years in postseason.
