You don’t need to be a member of Bills Mafia to get goosebumps in watching Buffalo Bills’ head coach Sean McDermott and QB Josh Allen rally their troops after sealing a nail-biter 27-24 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC wild-card round.
“We pick each other up along the way. Someone goes down, somebody steps up.” McDermott hit the nail on the head in pointing to the tremendous teamwork of a squad that managed to muscle out a thrilling victory despite missing a slew of key defenders.
A reverent quietude hung over the locker room as Allen capped McDermott’s sentiments with his own stirring call to force: “We get one more. That’s our reward for what we did today.” The reigning MVP earned the respect of teammates and fans alike with his stellar performance — featuring 28 pass completions in 35 attempts for 273 yards, 3 touchdowns (2 rushing), and no interceptions — despite enduring a beating in the pocket.
