Bills’ Dion Dawkins breaks down in tears after learning what Josh Allen did just seconds after heartbreaking loss vs. Broncos
Dion Dawkins couldn’t hold back his emotions after the loss against the Broncos.
The Buffalo Bills’ season is officially over after a heartbreaking defeat to the Denver Broncos in the divisional round of the playoffs.
The main talking point was a missed call by the referees during a play in overtime that was ruled an interception, not a catch by wide receiver Brandin Cooks. While it didn’t come down to one play, that play stands out as one of the worst calls in recent memory. With another heartbreaking defeat, emotions were high in the locker room.
Dion Dawkins kept it short and sweet after loss to the Broncos
Offensive lineman Dion Dawkins went viral after erupting in tears during his postgame comments with the media. It all started when he learned what quarterback Josh Allen had said to reporters after the game: “I let my teammates down tonight,” Allen said.
Dawkins was opening up on what he told Allen after the defeat. This is a brotherhood, more than a football team.
“We love you, simply that. I hate to keep it short, but we love you. We’re thankful for him,” Dawkins said.
That’s when Dawkins learned of Allen’s comments. Dawkins provided a short but sweet comment afterward before abruptly ending the interview. Emotions were at an all-time high, and Dawkins wore it all on his sleeve. He’s a true class act, and it’s all love in the locker room, despite the loss.
“He didn’t let us down,” Dawkins said.
Josh Allen did let the team down in some areas
While Dawkins showed nothing but love for his quarterback, we need to be honest for a second. Allen did let the team down in some of the biggest moments. Having two interceptions and two lost fumbles doesn’t set the team up for success and was a big reason the team lost.
However, Allen used his magic to help the team fight and claw their way back into the game, forcing the game into overtime. It was the full Allen experience, some moments of awe and wonder, and others where fans are left scratching their heads in disbelief.
“Just missed opportunities throughout the game, Allen said. “It’s been a long season, hate how it ended. It’s going to stick with me for a long time [ . . . ] Can’t win with five turnovers. I fumbled twice, threw two picks, you shoot yourself in the foot like that, you don’t deserve to win football games.”
That is what makes Allen who he is. He’ll own the lows just as quickly as he celebrates the highs, and that accountability is why his teammates rally around him the way Dawkins did in that moment.
The Bills didn’t lose because of one call, one play, or even one player; they lost because football is unforgiving in January. But as painful as this ending was, the emotion in the locker room says everything about the foundation that remains.
The mistakes will sting all offseason, but the belief is No. 17 hasn’t wavered for a second, and neither has the love from his teammates.
