‘I let team down’ – Allen in tears as Super Bowl wait goes on

After the Denver Broncos defeated the Buffalo Bills, moving into a playoff run, quarterback Josh Allen was crying as he addressed the media.

The Broncos scored a field goal in overtime to give them a lead, but Allen’s fourth turnover in the Divisional Round game on Saturday gave them a 33-30 lead.

The NFL’s reigning Most Valuable Player is still able to compete in the biggest game despite winning seven straight games.

The 29-year-old also won eight play-off games without participating in a Super Bowl.

An emotional Allen remarked, “It’s very difficult. Tonight, I feel like I let my team-mates down.

Opportunities were missed throughout the game. I regret how it ended, and it will stay with me for a long time. “

Denver and the Bills battled it out for the top seed in the AFC, and Denver led 23-10 in the third quarter before the Bills twice came from behind to make it 30-30.

The Broncos won the overtime game to earn their third play-off victory since winning the Super Bowl for the third time in February 2016.

The 49ers’ Levi’s Stadium, which will host 60 Super Bowl this year, will be on Sunday, February 8th, at the same venue.

The Broncos will have to deal with losing quarterback Bo Nix, but Denver and Seattle will host the Conference Championship games for the weekend.

The Kansas City Chiefs and AFC rivals Baltimore and Cincinnati both missed the post-season, but the team had already beaten the Bills in four of the previous five years.

Despite being the AFC’s sixth seed, Buffalo were still close favorites to win against a team that had won 13 of their previous 14 games and had a defense that led the league in sacks. However, the Bills suffered from turnovers, with Denver having one, while Buffalo had five overall.

In any of Allen’s six previous play-off appearances, Allen had two fumbles on either side of halftime, both of which were Denver field goals.

After Mecole Hardman’s touchdown run against Buffalo and touchdowns from Frank Crum and Lil’Jordan Humphrey, that increased the Broncos’ lead.

Before being let down in the third quarter, Allen also had 200 passes thrown without an interception. The 29-year-old regrouped to help Buffalo score 17 points without scoring thanks to touchdowns from Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid in the fourth quarter.

With 55 seconds left, a Marvin Mims score gave Denver the lead before 41-year-old Matt Prater scored the final field goal to put the game away.

However, Denver cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian made an interception in a contested catch with Brandin Cooks, even though the Buffalo defense was forced to stop on the first possession of the overtime.

Allen has lost all of his career’s three overtime losses, including all seven against Wil Lutz.

Sean McDermott of Buffalo also has the most play-off victories (eight) despite not winning a championship.

Divisional rivals Seattle thwarted San Francisco’s efforts to become the third team to host a Super Bowl in their own stadium.

Wide receiver Rashid Shaheed returned the kickoff for a 95-yard touchdown, which was a stunning start for the Seahawks.

Sam Darnold, a former 49ers backup, made three rushing touchdown passes to league-leading receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba at the age of 28 before earning his first play-off victory.

The Seahawks once more prevented the injured-hit 49ers from scoring a touchdown after defeating San Francisco 13-3 in the regular season opener.
