Josh Allen suggests Bills would have made Super Bowl over Patriots had they beaten Broncos

The ‘NFL on FOX’ crew reacts and breaks down the New England Patriots 10-7 win over the Denver Broncos in the AFC championship.

Buffalo Bills quarterback raised eyebrows with comments at the team's end-of-season news conference this week when he suggested his team would be in the Super Bowl had it beaten the Denver Broncos.

The Bills fell just short of Denver in a 33-30 overtime loss in the divisional round Jan. 17. But even if the Bills won that game, they would have had to beat the New England Patriots in the AFC championship to reach the Super Bowl.

But Allen didn't seem to account for the possibility of losing to the Patriots when he made those comments.

"I'd be lying to you if I'm sitting here saying that I feel like I had part in it because if I make one more play, that game in Denver, we're probably not having this press conference right now," Allen told reporters. "We're probably not making a change. In all honesty, we're probably getting ready to play another game."

That prompted criticism on social media.

"Josh Allen the king of what if’s," one user wrote on X. 

One X user wrote, "Guy who has never made a Super Bowl thinks he would’ve made Super Bowl if he hadn’t failed yet again to make Super Bowl."
