A Dolphins fan jokingly remarked, “He probably wants to face us again; he’s like 150-1 against us 😂.” Indeed, Josh Allen seems to have a stronghold against Miami, boasting an impressive 11-2 record, including playoff games. According to the Buffalo News, he holds the record for the longest streak in NFL history, having thrown multiple touchdowns in 13 consecutive games against the Dolphins.
In the recent Week 18 matchup, Allen continued to enhance his performance against Miami, completing 30-of-38 passes for 359 yards. This marked his sixth consecutive game with over 300 yards against the Dolphins. Given his track record, Allen might welcome another encounter with the Dolphins if both teams advance.
However, the possibility of a matchup with the Chiefs in the AFC Divisional round exists if both teams emerge victorious this weekend. The Bills previously defeated the Chiefs 20-17 at Arrowhead in Week 14, and facing Patrick Mahomes at Highmark Stadium could provide an opportunity for the Bills to avenge the “13 seconds” disaster from two years ago.
Despite the team’s success this season, Allen and the Bills remain focused on their ultimate goal. Winning the division is just a step, with wide receiver Stefon Diggs signaling “Four more” to Allen immediately after the Miami victory. Speaking to reporters, Allen expressed gratitude for the team’s position, acknowledging the significance of being in the playoffs and emphasizing the team’s inspiration.
Looking ahead to the upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on January 14, Allen highlighted the importance of peaking at the right time. While recognizing the team’s five-game win streak, he believes there’s still room for improvement, stating that they are fortunate to continue playing. The Bills have the advantage of playing at home in Orchard Park, where they have a strong playoff record since 2020. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.
