The first arrival after every Buffalo Bills game is quarterback Josh Allen, quick to give his postgame press conference in full uniform as soon as the team breakdown in the locker room ends and things begin to settle. Even after the toughest and most emotional of losses. This time, his arrival was not speedy. A couple minutes before, a public relations staff member came out and awaited his arrival. And then eventually, about 16 minutes after the game to a close, in walked Allen.

A.J. Brown had nothing to say - to reporters after the Philadelphia Eagles' playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers, that is. Philadelphia's star receiver did have plenty to say to Coach Nick Sirianni - and vice-versa - during a sideline spat late in the second quarter of the game that eventually marked an end to the Eagles' attempt at defending their Super Bowl title from last season.

"He's got the best hands I've ever seen. The way he catches the ball, the amount of different types of catches that he's made. When you get as many targets as he does, you're going to have some drops," said Sirianni, who noted the wind affected the ball in the air. "I know he will beat himself up on that."

"It felt like we were ready to play, it felt like we were in a good mindset," Matthews said. "I thought the first ten minutes they came out strong, and the next ten minutes I thought we controlled play, then I just thought we had too many passengers throughout the rest of the game. We just weren't on the same page."
