Josh Allen is accustomed to playoff pain, but maybe nothing ever quite this acute.

The agony was apparent as the reigning league MVP tearfully answered questions following the Buffalo Bills’ latest postseason heartbreaker – a 33-30 loss to the Denver Broncos. In overtime. Again.

The difference this time? Allen was more antihero than hero, valiantly fighting to save his team – while undermining it nearly as much.

“It’s extremely difficult. I feel like I let my teammates down tonight,” a tearful Allen said at his postgame news conference.

“Missed opportunities throughout the game. It’s been a long season. I hate how it ended, and it’s gonna stick with me for a long time.”
