Josh Allen says Ken Dorsey would have job if Bills played better - ESPN

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills' decision to move on from offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey is personal on multiple levels for quarterback Josh Allen.

Dorsey has worked with Allen since 2019, first as the team's quarterbacks coach. In January 2022, after another playoff exit at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs, Allen successfully lobbied for Dorsey to get the offensive coordinator job.

Coach Sean McDermott made the decision to fire Dorsey on Tuesday after the team fell to 5-5 with Monday's loss to the Denver Broncos. It's the team's worst winning percentage through more than two games since finishing 6-10 in 2018.

Buffalo now sits outside of the playoff picture heading into a Week 11 matchup against the New York Jets, who defeated the Bills in Week 1.

Allen on Wednesday said that if the Bills had played better, Dorsey would still be employed.

«Without a doubt, and I take that very personally,» Allen said. «It hurts a lot to see someone you care about go through a situation like that and to know that if I could have done more, if this offense could have done more, we wouldn't have had to do something like that.

»… It's an unfortunate series of events that have led up to it, but, again, as much as you can sit here and feel sorry for yourself and you can sulk on what's going on, we got a game to prepare for and it's four days away, so we can't pay too much attention to it."

The Bills would've won against the Broncos on Monday night, but a penalty for having 12 men on the field negated a missed field goal as time expired, allowing Denver another attempt that resulted in the 24-22 victory.

McDermott said the decision to fire Dorsey was based on what took place over the season. Quarterbacks coach Joe Brady was named
