Bills QB Josh Allen Defends Play Style, Not Feeling Pressure to Win Super Bowl

Josh Allen took the blame for the Buffalo Bills' divisional round playoff loss to the Denver Broncos, but the star quarterback isn't apologizing for his playing style. 

In an interview with FS1's "First Things First," Allen admitted that he sometimes feels obligated to play aggressively as he's been one of the game's top dual-threat quarterbacks.

"I think it's all dictated based on the flow of the game, understanding where I'm at in the season, who do we have in there with us, is our defense rolling, who's hurt and who's not," Allens said when asked how he determines when to take risks and when to play conservatively. "Obviously, I'm going to go out there and make every play. Sometimes, it puts me in a bad spot. I understand that. But I think more often times than not, I've made those plays and I continue to prove that. 

"If I can sit in the pocket and be 25-of-25 and don't have to run around, I would love to do that. That's something that, as I get older and less athletic, as you do with age — I'm still not there yet, I think you have until you're 32 to be in your prime as a male — I feel like I've still got some time to run around and make some plays. At the same time, I'm just trying to find ways to help this team win some football games."

Allen's aggressive playing style has mostly benefited him throughout his career, especially over the last two seasons. He won MVP in 2024 as a result of his playmaking ability, and he was second in the league in total touchdowns (39) this past season.

But the Bills' playoff loss to the Broncos showed the potential downside to Allen's aggressive play. He committed four turnovers in that game, losing a key fumble that essentially led to three free points for the Broncos right before
