#Bills Josh Allen emotional in pointing out he threw 3 touchdowns, defense came up with 3 interceptions, and that it’s been 3 years and 3 months since Buffalo’s last KO return for TD. “It’s spiritual.” @wgrz

The balance of power shifts in the AFC East as #Bills trade for Diggs and Tom Brady says goodbye in New England. Josh Allen has a playoff game under his belt and is poised for progress. The window is open. His ability to take those next steps is a huge part of the equation.
