Monday night was a disaster for two teams and their fanbases. While the Dallas Cowboys lost by a slim 7-point margin, the Buffalo Bills shocked the NFL community with their exit. Not just the fact that they lost to the Cincinnati Bengals, but that they lost in such a mortifying fashion. What’s more, it seems the 27-10 loss has had a severe impact on Bills QB Josh Allen, who reportedly was shocked at the loss too.

Dianna Russini, a reporter for ESPN covering the game, Tweeted from the Highmark stadium. Right after the game, it seems Allen sat in front of his locker for an unusually long time, just staring at his phone. It took him quite a while to pull himself together to even get in the shower. An understandable feeling, one that many other players and fans must be going through too.
It was a frustrating night overall for the Bills. So much so, that receiver Stefon Diggs gave Allen an earful after the latter failed to spot Diggs open in the endzone. Both Allen and head coach Sean McDermot only had praises for Diggs, however, and completely failed to address his hast exit from the locker room after the game.

Fans react to Josh Allen failing to perform against the Bengals
NFL fans were clearly not ready to witness the thrashing the Bills received on Monday. What was supposed to be a clash between two extremely talented teams, turned out to be a disaster for one. While most fans defended the Bills QB for his valiant efforts, there are quite a few who think Allen’s history of losing in the playoffs is a tad bit too concerning.
This is the 4th time the Bills have lost in the playoffs, with Josh Allen leading the charge. The reasons for the loss are still only speculative in nature, but the Buffalo outfit will want to address all avenues as soon as they can. Allen will definitely want to break his trend of losses in the next season and get the Bills to within striking distance of the Super Bowl.
For the Bengals, they face the rampant Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on January 30th. A game that will decide who represents the AFC in the Super Bowl this season. Although it might seem the Bengals have the upper hand by virtue of winning their last 3 head to heads, the Chiefs are known to spring out with surprises, thanks to their QB Patrick Mahomes.
Mahomes’ incredible skill and magical play-calling abilities will come in handy as they take on the Bengals. The Chiefs were able to dispatch the Jaguars off in their Divisional playoff round. However, the Bengals could still run circles around the Cheifs, just like they did with the Bills. Will the Chiefs declaw another big cat this off-season? Or will they be torn to shred by the Bengals?
