Just a week ago, Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen captivated fans with an MVP performance that not only set records but also made waves across the league. The Bills clinched their 5th consecutive AFC East title and are the #2 seed in the AFC, one game behind the Kansas City Chiefs.
When asked on Thursday about the factors behind the team's success this year, Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins provided a humorous yet insightful response.
"It's a whole new ballgame; our quarterback is engaged. There's love in the air, man," Dawkins quipped, before elaborating on the significance of Allen's personal life.
Dawkins emphasized the impact of Allen's happiness on the team's performance, stating, "We all stem from the head. [Allen] touches the ball every single play. When he feels complete and right, we have the best chance of winning."
Dawkins noted the visible changes in Allen's demeanor throughout the entire season, from his smiles to his energy on and off the field, attributing the team's positive momentum to their QB's state of mind.
"I want to be the best version for him because he has shown me the best version of Josh Allen," Dawkins added. "And next year, it will only get better."
Allen's engagement to actress Hailee Steinfeld, which took place during the Bills' Week 12 bye, marked a new chapter in his life.
