A quiet walk off the plane said more than words ever could.

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills saw their season come to an end Saturday night with a 33-30 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos.

The defeat hurt even more because of how it went all throughout. Turnovers, late defensive breakdowns, and disputed calls all played a role in another painful playoff exit.

When the team returned to Buffalo, the emotion was evident. Josh Allen stepped off the team plane with his head down, wearing a hoodie, and his body language looked quite heavy. Cameras caught the moment, and the clip quickly spread online. It showed just how drained he looked after another postseason loss.

Allen carried the weight of the loss himself. He faced the media and spoke through tears.“Feel like I let my teammates down tonight,” Allen said after the game. He later added, “It’s been a long season. I hate how it ended. And it’s gonna stick with me for a long time.”

Allen accounted for four of Buffalo’s five turnovers. He threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles. Denver turned those mistakes into 16 points. Buffalo failed to score off its lone takeaway. Allen said the math told the story. “Can’t win with five turnovers,” he said. “When you shoot yourself in the foot like that, you don’t deserve to win football games.”

The Bills fought back and nearly pulled it off. Buffalo was down 13 points in the third quarter, but Josh Allen led a comeback. He threw a go-ahead touchdown to Dalton Kincaid early in the fourth quarter. A Matt Prater field goal later made it a four-point lead with just over four minutes left. Denver answered late when Bo Nix hit Marvin Mims Jr. for a touchdown. Buffalo forced overtime with a long field goal, but Denver ended the game with another kick.

Officiating calls added to the frustration. Allen mentioned them but did not make excuses. “Yeah, I mean, losing that way, regardless, losing in the playoffs is not fun, so,” he said.

The locker room was emotional. Allen cried and apologized to his teammates. Dion Dawkins broke down while talking about him. Brandin Cooks sat at his locker and wept. The loss felt heavier than past playoff endings.

Allen finished 25 of 39 for 283 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for 66 yards. It still was not enough. Buffalo has yet to reach the Super Bowl in the Josh Allen era.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
