Josh Allen, Bills players defend Dalton Kincaid amid backlash - ESPN

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Bills' season largely came to an end when a pass from quarterback Josh Allen, under pressure on fourth-and-5 from Buffalo's 47-yard line with two minutes remaining, fell to the ground between the arms of second-year tight end Dalton Kincaid.

The game ended soon after the Chiefs worked downfield and clinched a 32-29 win in Sunday's AFC Championship Game to go to the Super Bowl.

While Kincaid has received backlash online for his role in the play, his teammates were quick to offer their support, with many noting that many small things could have gone differently in the game to impact the outcome.

Allen on Monday pointed to what he could have done to help Kincaid in his second year.

«I got to be better for him. I didn't feel like I put him in enough good situations this year, ball-placement-wise,» Allen said. "… He can sit there and think about that play over and over, but I got to be better for him. That's what it comes down to, and get him more involved. I know he's been battling throughout the entire year, bumps and bruises and probably games that he shouldn't have played he was in, but he's a tough sucker, and I got nothing but love for him, how he's approached this year. He's going to be so much better next year. Let his body heal up, and I'm going to be better, better for him, and I can promise you that."

Tight end Dawson Knox said Monday that Kincaid has been battling a torn PCL in one of his knees, in addition to fluid in his other knee. Kincaid was not present during Monday's media availability. He has been on the injury report with a knee injury, but has fully participated in practice.

Kincaid, 25, finished his second year catching 44 passes for 448 yards and two touchdowns in the regular
