Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox has been leaning on his faith during both the highs and lows of the season. Despite the team’s heartbreaking loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game, Knox spoke openly about his faith and his optimism for next season.
“I think it’s easy to be all happy and praise the Lord in the good times, but I wanna give all the glory to Jesus,” Knox said. “He’s the reason I’m here, and I’ve got so much gratitude for this building and everybody in here that makes this team so special for this whole city. There’s truly nowhere else I’d rather be.”
Knox acknowledged that change in the offseason is inevitable, but added that he believes the Bills will be back in the playoffs next season. “To Jesus goes all the glory, and I really just am grateful for the season that we had — obviously not the result we wanted. Lots of heartbreak, lots of sad emotions just coming up short, but there’s still those exciting feelings inside that there’s more out there. We’ll be back next year. The future’s bright.”
The Bills, who have won five-straight division titles, became the first team to win 11 or more games over five straight seasons that didn’t reach the Super Bowl at least once over that span.
