Huge Boost for Bills as Josh Allen Sends Strong 3-word Message Ahead of Crucial AFC Championship Showdown
Sean McDermott’s message inspires Josh Allen and Buffalo Bills to change their playoff fortunes against the Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday’s AFC Championship game.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen knows the team must come into Sunday’s AFC Championship against the Bills with a different mindset if they want a different result. While his regular season record against Kansas City is an excellent 4-1, the playoffs – a time when players can get a little tight under the pressure – have proved a hurdle the Bills have been have been unable to leap, losing all three playoff contests to Mahomes and the Chiefs.
However, Allen recently revealed to reporters a seeming change in approach, perhaps stirred by Bills head coach Sean McDermott’s message to the team earlier in the week:
It’s hard to win if you’re playing scared to lose.
– Sean McDermott, Head Coach
When asked what McDermott’s words meant to him, Allen quickly responded, “Playing free. Not fearing consequences of messing up. And, again, it does go back to feeling if we’ve prepared and we’ve given ourselves everything we can throughout the week then, on Sunday, let it loose and go from there.” (3:37 mark in link below)
To hear Allen’s words – and see how completely relaxed he is saying them – it’s not a leap to think to believe that this newfound fearless freedom may just be the thing that pushes the Bills past their poor postseason record and delivers them to the Super Bowl.
