Jason Kelce rips Josh Allen for rushed throw on failed two-point try in Bills’ one-point loss to Eagles | NFL News
The final seconds in Philadelphia left little room for nuance, and the missed two point conversion quickly became the defining moment of the Bills’ one point loss. Josh Allen had already carried Buffalo back into the game with his legs, but the final throw told a harsher story. The play lingered into the following day, turning a narrow defeat into a league wide talking point.What kept the moment alive was not the miss itself, but how directly it was addressed. Former Eagles center Jason Kelce offered an unfiltered breakdown that reflected how players see mistakes when the margin is razor thin. His comments shifted the conversation from sympathy to accountability.
Jason Kelce criticism of Josh Allen highlights late game execution
Buffalo’s loss came after a strange night. Allen struggled early, then surged late with two rushing touchdowns that gave the Bills a chance to steal the game. The failed conversion erased that effort and handed Philadelphia a 13 to 12 win. While the Bills still secured a playoff spot, the ending exposed how little separates success from regret.Speaking on NFL on ESPN, Kelce did not soften his assessment. “He did (rush the throw),” Kelce said. “To his credit, he was pressured a little bit. … I guarantee he’s watching that and he knows himself, ‘Damn, I got to make that throw.’” The remark landed because it echoed what many quarterbacks admit privately after film review.Allen did not deflect blame either. After the game, he said, “Yeah, I just missed. It just comes down to us executing, making one more play than they did. And obviously you saw that we didn’t make that last play.” The honesty matched the moment and reinforced his leadership.Outside voices were less forgiving. Colin Cowherd questioned Buffalo’s postseason ceiling, saying, “I think Denver will beat them (the Bills). I think Jacksonville would beat them… Yeah, I can see the Buffalo being a one-and-done team. I’ve had them in the Herd Hierarchy around 8,9,10. It’s just hard for me.”Still, context matters. Allen finished the season with 3,668 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, and 14 rushing scores. The Bills ranked among the league’s best offenses. The missed throw hurt, but the larger test now shifts to whether Buffalo can respond when the stakes rise again in January.Also Read: Patrick Mahomes’ injury recovery takes powerful turn as teen fighting rare disease steps up to inspire him
