The Buffalo Bills' decision to fire offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey is personal on multiple levels for Josh Allen.

Dorsey has worked with Allen since 2019, first as the team's quarterbacks coach. In January 2022, after another playoff exit at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs, Allen successfully lobbied for Dorsey to get the offensive coordinator job.

Sean McDermott made the decision to fire Dorsey on Tuesday after the team fell to 5-5 with Monday's loss to the Denver Broncos. It's the team's worst winning percentage through more than two games since finishing 6-10 in 2018.

"Without a doubt, and I take that very personally," Allen said. "It hurts a lot to see someone you care about go through a situation like that and to know that if I could have done more, if this offense could have done more, we wouldn't have had to do something like that.

"... It's an unfortunate series of events that have led up to it, but, again, as much as you can sit here and feel sorry for yourself and you can sulk on what's going on, we got a game to prepare for and it's four days away, so we can't pay too much attention to it."
