AFC East, lost to Chiefs in AFC championship Overview: The Buffalo Bills keep getting close, but at some point that makes the Josh Allen era even more frustrating.

Roderick Morrow, a Buffalo Bills employee that works in the team's mailroom, said last week he was going to cry if Josh Allen didn't win the NFL MVP award.
