Josh Allen could not contain his anger after following up two fumbles with a nightmare interception during the Bills’ playoff showdown with the Broncos.
In an uncharacteristically sloppy display, the Buffalo quarterback and reigning NFL MVP lost a disastrous fumble right at the end of the first half when he took off on a scramble and lost the ball, before Denver linebacker Nik Bonitto recovered it.
That mishap allowed the hosts to kick a successful field goal and head in at halftime with a 23-10 lead, having only just scored a touchdown with less than 30 seconds of the half remaining.
Then, just seconds into the third quarter, a huge hit from Bonitto saw Allen lose his second fumble of the day, with the Broncos then kicking another field goal to go 23-10 ahead.
The Bills superstar soon bounced back after throwing a touchdown pass for Keon Coleman, and then a woeful interception from opposite number Bo Nix handed Buffalo the initiative.
However, that was before Allen suffered another major blunder by throwing an interception of his own – leading to a furious reaction on the sideline.
Josh Allen could not contain his anger after three huge mistakes for the Bills on Saturday
CBS cameras captured him walking over to the bench and slamming his helmet down in frustration, having produced his third costly mistake of the day.
Heading into Saturday’s game, he boasted the best touchdown-to-interception ratio (26-4) in NFL playoff history, while recording 182 straight attempts without an interception.
That streak came to an end in Denver, where the Bills had registered four turnovers before the end of the third quarter.
