How Josh Allen’s refusal to ‘Slide’ has Bills QB on verge of playoff record

The Athletic has live coverage of Chiefs vs Bills in the AFC divisional round matchup The question has been famous around Buffalo for a quarter century. “In your head, you’re screaming, ‘Slide!’ But then he’s weaving in and out of defenders, running guys over,” Bills tight end Dawson Knox said. “The city gets wound up when they’re doing well, and he’s leading it all,” Goo Goo Dolls co-founder and bassist Robby Takac said from his North Buffalo home. So let’s keep it going.” In nine career playoff games, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has 491 rushing yards, 103 behind record-holder Steve Young for quarterbacks. After Allen played Week 8 with aggressive intent, including 41 rushing yards and a touchdown to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Bills center Mitch Morse observed Allen “wanted to let his freak flag fly a little bit.” Told the Bills’ offensive seems more effective when Allen does so, Morse replied, “Yeah, that’s fair.” Kansas City, however, doesn’t let quarterbacks run so easily.
