Josh Allen missed pass to Dawson Knox wasn't as bad as it looked for Bills image

Josh Allen wants the throw back. Of course he does.

Dawson Knox surely would've liked to be in a slightly different position to catch it, too.

But the widely replayed miss of Knox by Allen on a throw right at the end of regulation, one that might've resulted in a game-winning touchdown, isn't as bad as it appeared on the broadcast angles.

Allen had two rushers in his lap, it was a pretty long throw, and if he didn't angle it the way he did, it might've been knocked down at the line.

Here's a better view of all that:

The Bills didn't lose this game because of this missed throw. They lost it because of five turnovers.

Sure, this would've been the miracle that saved them, but it wasn't an easy one.

Matt Prater's 50-yard field goal that followed this forced overtime, and it kept the Bills alive anyway.

They couldn't cash in during OT, hurt by the Brandin Cooks near-catch that was instead an interception.

But if the Knox incompletion comes across your feed, know that it was a tough play to begin with.
