Josh Allen just dropped a bombshell that will leave Bills Mafia reeling – he played the end of the season on a BROKEN foot, underwent surgery this week, and now carries crushing guilt over the firing of Sean McDermott.
The Pain He Hid From Everyone
The reigning MVP showed up on crutches Thursday, right foot in a boot, fresh off surgery in Alabama to repair a fractured fifth metatarsal. Allen revealed the injury stemmed from an old break he aggravated in the Week 16 win over Cleveland – yet he never missed a snap.
“It’s a little painful right now,” Allen admitted, “but if we had a game this week, I’d find a way.” That’s the warrior mentality that earned him MVP – and forced him to pull out of the Pro Bowl.
The Gut Punch That Still Hurts
Days after the crushing overtime loss to Denver ended Buffalo’s season, Allen got the call: Sean McDermott was out. The quarterback immediately phoned his former coach.
“I’ve got nothing but love and respect for coach McDermott,” Allen said, voice heavy. “If I make one more play in Denver, we’re probably not having this press conference right now.”
He still feels “sick to his stomach” about the collapse, pointing the thumb squarely at himself: “We had the team to win the Super Bowl… and we didn’t make one more play.”
A New Era – And a New Dad
Allen interviewed head coach candidates alongside ownership and grilled new hire Joe Brady hard. He believes the organization is headed in the right direction – but the mission remains clear: deliver Buffalo its first Lombardi.
- Quick recovery expected – Allen vows to be full-go for OTAs
- First-time father on the horizon with wife Hailee Steinfeld
- “Being a dad is the most important thing I’ll ever do,” he says
From heartbreak and hardware to crutches and cribs – Josh Allen’s next chapter is loaded with pressure, pain, and promise. Will this fire forge a champion?
