"We prepared so hard, the effort was there. Our guys played so hard. Defense gave us opportunities," Allen told reporters after the game. "They played a heck of a game. It sucks when you feel like you are the reason and I am the reason we lost tonight."

Allen was 29-for-41 with 236 passing yards and a touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs. Allen tried to explain the apparent forced passes.

"Mindset-wise, just trust in what I see, sticking with it and not trying to force anything. It’s a good defense we’re playing, but we can’t play two guys. You can’t play them and us. I played us tonight."
