Bills faced with nightmare scenario as playoff pressure rises

The Buffalo Bills no doubt have a sense of urgency entering the playoffs. That is nothing new.

But the pressure on this franchise can't be understated.

Dion Dawkins said there's on extra pressure, but there is.

After multiple failures in the postseason over the last five years, with no Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow or Lamar Jackson, this is Josh Allen's time.

But for CBS Sports' Pete Prisco, he offers a nightmare thought for Bills Mafia to mull over.

Buffalo goes one-and-done in Jacksonville against the Jaguars, losing 32-28.

"This will be fun to watch as both quarterbacks light it up with Lawrence winning it late, Prisco writes.

Bills faced with nightmare scenario

There is no doubt Sean McDermott is under pressure to deliver for Buffalo. So too, Allen.

And if the Bills go and get beaten by the Jaguars, that is going to set in motion some things that Bills Mafia might not like.

Say, McDermott, being on the hottest of hot seats.

Not to mention the blowback on Allen. With no rivals in the competition, to be dumped out by Trevor Lawrence is nightmare fuel.

This playoff run looms as the most pressurized for Allen and McDermott.

They've got to get it done, and for most, if they don't this year, changes could be coming in the offseason.
