Von Miller and Taron Johnson went down with the Buffalo Bills ship in the AFC title game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Both were disappointed about the loss and have their own personal deeper reasons adding to that.

Father Time is undefeated and Miller is 35. But at least Miller has won two titles, Johnson is still vying to just play in his first Super Bowl.

There’s always next year… and both expressed confidence in the Bills’ potential to land right back in the postseason and AFC championship again in 2025 after the Chiefs’ 32-29 win.

“We did everything in our power to win this game,” Miller said. “We got high character guys in this whole organization and we’ll be back.”

“I’d say that, man, we can get right back here. We have that ability,” Johnson added. “We have the ability to get to the Super Bowl but we did not. We’ve just got to make sure we get this opportunity again.”

In Kansas City, Miller did not record a sack but Pro Football Focus graded him as Buffalo’s second-best defender on their day via the outlet’s analytic metrics. Miller was credited with two QB pressures, two QB hurries, and a defensive stop.

Johnson had a tougher outing as far as PFF is concerned as he was marked him as the Bills’ fifth-worst defender. However, Johnson did have the task of helping cover future Hall of Fame tight end Travis Kelce.

Johnson had three tackles, a defensive stop, and was credited with allowing only two catches on four targets for 25 yards.
