Josh Allen classily defended Bills kicker Tyler Bass after Buffalo’s brutal loss to the Chiefs

It’s tempting to say otherwise, but postseason losses don’t usually come down to one missed kick. Sure, Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass will have to live with “wide right” for a while, but it’s not as if his game-tying miss was solely why Buffalo fell short of the Kansas City Chiefs yet again.

And of all people, Josh Allen understands this perfectly.

In a topsy-turvy game that seemingly featured so many chaotic bounces and strange calls by officials, the Bills did not lose because their kicker couldn’t tie the game at the end. They lost as a team, and Allen wants everyone on the outside looking in to know that:

This shouldn’t even be a controversial statement. Bass’s miss wide right will get more attention, especially because of the other infamous Bills’ play it’s now synonymous with. But it’s not why the Chiefs went into Buffalo and won.

It’s because the Bills couldn’t capitalize and made too many mistakes as a team.
