Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen still hasn’t digested the coin toss and subsequent Divisional Round loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. On the “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast, he gave insight into his emotional state about the historic playoff spectacle.

Munich – Days like this stay in the memory for a long time. In one of the most gripping playoff games in history, the Buffalo Bills lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 36-42 – after overtime. The Chiefs had won the coin toss before overtime, marched down the field and finished the game.

Following the season, the NFL changed the rules for overtime. Bills quarterback Josh Allen, however, is still smarting from the playoff loss. On the “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast, he revealed that the lost coin toss hurt him the most – and that a TV crew was not entirely uninvolved.

CBS crew as bad luck charm?

Because before the game Allen was present at a production meeting of the broadcasting station CBS. There, he said, he was informed of his previously unblemished coin-flip record. “In our production meeting I was jinxed because in that game I didn’t win one of two coin tosses. Before that, they came up with the statistic that I had a 9-0 record there.”

In the game itself, Allen said he then deviated from his original coin-flip tactics, “I chose heads on the first one, then tails at the end, I changed my mind. “

Josh Allen: Own perfomance not worth much

In the playoffs, Allen and the Bills offense played big. In two games he threw for over 600 yards, nine touchdowns and no interceptions. However, Allen cares very little about his individual performance.

“When people come up to me and say it was the best game they’ve ever seen, I always just think to myself, ‘Yeah, but we lost,'” Allen said.

After all, the Bills are now at the top of the bookies’ list of Super Bowl contenders. If Allen can repeat his performance, the Bills will surely go far. And this year, they won’t have to worry about a coin flip.
