The season is on the line from this weekend-on for every NFL team that made it to the postseason. Allen completely understands this, and knows he and his teammates need to stay focused from here on out.
"One week seasons, man, that's it," Allen said following the win. "Gotta take it 1-0, one game at a time. Thought we did some good things today, and I did some bad things today. Some stuff to clean up, some things to learn from, but we'll grow from it. All that matters is surviving and advancing. It doesn't matter how we win, it's if we win, and proud of our guys for playing the way they did."
Along with the importance of the game, Allen also recognized the pride he has for the rest of his team in their ability to step up when the game was on the line.
"I thought their front did a pretty good job maybe blocking up some of the running lanes. But again, our guys found a way to win. Our defense stepped up. I'm so proud of our offensive line and our running backs on that last drive. It's not easy to run when they know you're running it in those situations," Allen said. "For 'Motor' [Devin Singletary], to put his head down and follow the big boys up front, go win a game like that. I don't know if we've done that this year, so that was really, really good to see."
