The Buffalo Bills have been eliminated from the NFL postseason following a loss against the Joe Burrow led-Cincinnati Bengals in the Divisional round matchup on Sunday. The Bengals came into the Highmark Stadium as road underdogs and pretty much dominated the Bills throughout the game in the freezing Buffalo cold to move on to the Conference Championship game.
There was a heavy snowfall as predicted in Buffalo for this playoff game and it became difficult for the quarterbacks to rely on their typical passing attack. The Bengals managed to move the ball with their electrifying rushing attack as their running back Joe Mixon carried the rock 20 times for 120 yards and one TD while averaging 5.2 yards per attempt.
The Bills couldn’t do the same since they struggled in their ground game, which resulted in the not being able to move the ball, which eventually led them to trail behind the defending AFC Champions the whole game. Their leading rusher was their QB Josh Allen, who rushed for 26 yards and one touchdown while averaging a mere 3.2 yards per attempt. Furthermore, during his rushing TD, the franchise QB also initiated a scuffle with the whole Bengals’ defense.
During the second quarter of the game, when the scoreboard read 14-0 in favor of the Bengals, Allen managed to score a one-yard touchdown to cut the lead down to 8 points pending a PAT. After the TD, the Bills’ franchise QB got heated and started a scuffle with the Cincinnati defenders in the endzone.

Why does Josh Allen always want to fight and then walks away?

Josh Allen starting a fight? Typical

He shrugged off and stared down a couple of defenders and soon the whole Bills squad came to the aid of their quarterback. Then the teams pushed one another for a few seconds while Allen bailed out of the scene.
Josh Allen looking to start a fight every week

Unfortunately for the Buffalo fans, that would be the most fight their team would show through the entire game. Furthermore, this is the second time during this postseason, Allen has started a fight with the opponents.
Josh Allen don’t start a fight challenge:
Impossible edition

Josh Allen loves starting fights and letting his teammates finish them

Social media crucified the 5th-year quarterback for starting the unnecessary scuffle while the team was down 14-6 during a crucial playoff game. The Bills would eventually go on to lose the game.
Josh Allen always picks fights he can’t win because he knows someone else will win them for him

Oh look Josh Allen picked a fight and ran away again. Loser.
Is there a softer player in the NFL?

The Cincinnati Bengals took care of business in buffalo and moved on to the next round of the playoffs. They will face the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game on January 29.
