Tight end Dawson Knox saw his rookie season extended one going into the postseason in 2019 as the Bills advanced to the postseason.
But that didn’t go as planned and Knox hasn’t forgotten.
Buffalo lost to the Texans 22-19 in overtime. In particular, the offensive side of the ball was a bit of a letdown. The Bills settled for four field goals in the game. While chatting with The Jim Rome Show this week, Knox is putting a classic twist on that loss, though. Fuel for the fire.
“I think that everybody was left with a bitter taste in their mouth after that loss,” Knox said.
Some of Knox’s teammates have even continued to share posts and pictures in regard to the loss throughout the offseason on social media. Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano did so even within the last week.
Clearly Knox isn’t alone here, and he knows that, too.
“I think that’s going to be the biggest motivating factor to get us back next year, or this season coming up. Because I don’t think you can learn nearly as much from a win as you can from a loss. I think that’s the behind the scenes factor that’s going to push guys harder this offseason, it’ll show that hard work does pay off,” Knox said. “And once we get there, we have to make the most of our opportunity.”
