While Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen called their loss to the New England Patriots last week a “wake-up call,” it’s unclear what message they received.
Buffalo took an ugly 24-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6. During the Monday Night Football matchup, Allen completed 15-of-26 passes for 180 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions, along with six carries for 42 yards.
The Bills’ defense allowed Falcons running back Bijan Robinson and wide receiver Drake London to rack up 299 combined yards in the first half alone. Despite losing multiple starters to injury, the defense got its act together in the second half. A blocked field-goal attempt kept it a one-score game in the fourth quarter.
The offense had several opportunities to tie it up but failed to capitalize on them. Allen and Co.’s 14 points is their lowest scoring total since 2023.

Speaking to reporters after the game, “It takes everyone. Little details matter,” Allen said. “It wasn’t good enough tonight… We had our opportunities to take advantage of, and we didn’t. I gotta be better. Seeing the things they’re trying to do to us and adjust accordingly.
“It sucks when you feel like two-thirds of your team (special teams and defense) are doing their job and you’re the team not to pull your weight. It sucks… It’s gonna eat at me the next two weeks. So yeah, a lot of stuff to clean up.”
Josh Allen Was ‘Frustrated,’ But Went Straight To Work to Figure Out A Solution

After the game, Allen huddled with offensive coordinator Joe Brady and his backup quarterbacks, Mitchell Trubisky and Shane Buechele, for a pow-wow. The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia reported, “Once quarterback Josh Allen had grown tired of looking at his phone, he took a deep sigh and sat in the chair at his locker room stall.”
Buechele sat to his right while Trubisky took a seat to his left before Brady sat directly across from the league MVP. “It was a diamond formation, attempting to decode why the Bills were unable to move the ball consistently for a second consecutive game,” Buscaglia wrote.
“This wasn’t the despondent Allen that we’ve seen in the past after losses. He was frustrated, but eager to figure things out with his inner circle. And when you begin to analyze where it all went wrong, it’s hard to look anywhere else but the production, or lack thereof, from the boundary receivers.”
Allen played without tight end Dalton Kincaid out and wide receiver Curtis Samuel against the Falcons, while Josh Palmer exited early in the second quarter with an ankle injury. However, Allen’s lack of a true No. 1 wide receiver was a glaring issue on Monday night.
“Over the last five games, the Bills’ boundary receivers — meaning everyone not named slot receiver Khalil Shakir — have averaged 89 yards per game, collectively,” Buscaglia noted.
Bills QB Josh Allen Said He’s Fully Healthy After Appearing to Injure His Hand
With 12:43 left in the second quarter, the 29-year-old quarterback appeared to suffer an injury to his non-throwing hand after getting taken down by three defenders. Allen shook out his hand on the way to the sidelines.
After the game, he denied any lingering issues. When asked if he hurt his hand, “No,” he said. When asked if he was playing completely healthy right now, “Yeah,” he answered.
Any injury to Allen would be devastating for the Bills. Luckily, he has an extra week off before preparing to face the Carolina Panthers in Week 8.
