Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen Talks Detroit Lions
Tracy Wolfson of CBS interviewed Allen following his win. During the episode, he praised Dan Campbell and the Lions, and he was very respectful of how the Lions played them.
Allen described the Lions as “one of the best teams in the league.” He went on to say, “We understand that — the magnitude of this type of game.”
While acknowledging that the Lions were a worthy opponent, Allen stated that he had always believed in his teammates and knew they could pull it off.
“Never doubt. “Our guys did an excellent job today,” Allen stated. “Defense stood up when they needed to. “I have a lot of young guys playing right now.”
Allen had a monster game, totaling 362 throwing yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. Throughout the game, he was never sacked.
“We’re just trying to find ways to win,” Allen stated after the win over the Lions. “This will help us in the long run. This game can teach us a lot about offense. We left too many plays out there.”
Allen did sustain some minor injuries during the game, and he went to the X-ray room afterward to be examined for what the Bills quarterback described as an awkward fall.
“Just took a funky fall, more peace of mind than anything,” Allen blurted out. “But everything checked out.”
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff on Loss
Following the game, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff discussed the loss and how the club will use it to push itself moving ahead.
“Maybe it’s a good wakeup call for us,” Goff said in a postgame press conference. “Nice little re-calibration for us.” “Now we can get on the road.”
He went on: “We had some nice home games we just finished up but now we get to go on the road and it’s us against everyone else again and come together and get a bit tighter and move on.”
Goff had a terrific game, despite the loss. He threw for 494 yards and five touchdowns in the fall against Buffalo.
He also informed the press that he feels the loss will benefit the squad in the long run.
“I think we will,” he said. “If you handle it the right way and recognize where your shortcomings were and get better and move on, yeah, sure, it can be great thing for the team.”
“We know we have Minnesota on our heels in the division, and we’re battling Philly for the No. 1 seed, and if there isn’t urgency now, there won’t be,” Goff added, assuring fans that the Lions understand what’s on the line.
