Jaguars Fall Short as Josh Allen’s Late Strike Sends Bills Marching On
Good evening and we begin tonight with a dramatic playoff showdown that ended in heartbreak for Jacksonville and celebration in Buffalo.
The Jacksonville Jaguars saw their season come to a sudden, painful stop after a 27–24 loss to the Buffalo Bills, a game that swung on just a few critical moments late in the fourth quarter. And once again, it was Josh Allen who delivered when it mattered most.
With the game hanging in the balance and pressure closing in, Allen stood tall in the pocket with a Jaguars defender right in his face. He launched a deep throw downfield to Brandin Cooks, hitting him in stride for a massive 36-yard gain. That single play flipped the field, shifted momentum and put Buffalo in position to take control when it mattered most.

Jacksonville had its chances. Earlier in the game, Trevor Lawrence showed why the Jaguars believe he’s their franchise quarterback. Just before halftime, Lawrence fired a confident strike up the seam to Parker Washington, who leaped over defenders for a huge 34-yard gain. It was one of those moments that had Jaguars fans believing this could be their night.
But playoff football has a way of punishing even the smallest mistakes. Late in the fourth quarter, with Jacksonville trying to answer, a tipped pass changed everything. The ball popped into the air and Buffalo safety Cole Bishop came down with a game-sealing interception. Just like that, the Jaguars’ comeback hopes were gone.
For Jacksonville, this loss will sting for a long time. This was a team that fought through injuries, leaned on a young core and believed it was ready to take the next step. Instead, they’re left wondering how close they really are and what needs to change to get over this playoff hurdle.
For Buffalo, this was a statement win. Josh Allen once again showed his calm under pressure and the Bills proved they can execute in the biggest moments. That confidence now carries them forward into the Divisional Round, where expectations only grow louder.
As for the Jaguars, the offseason questions begin immediately. How do they finish games like this. How do they turn flashes of brilliance into complete performances. And how do they make sure moments like this don’t define their season.
From the bright lights of the playoffs to a long road ahead, Jacksonville’s year ends in frustration, while Buffalo moves on, battle-tested and dangerous. That’s the story tonight.
