Josh Allen dons visor amid “third Bosa brother” jests as Bills face Dolphins
Last week, the Buffalo Bills and their supporters collectively held their breath when superstar quarterback Josh Allen sprinted off the field after a hard hit during a play against the New York Jets. The incident left Allen with a bloodied nose, prompting immediate attention from the Bills’ training staff. Thankfully, he returned to the game shortly after, and when the Bills released their injury report for the week, Allen was notably absent, indicating no lasting effects from the injury aside from some minor bruising.
Josh Allen’s Injury Update
Reflecting on the incident post-game, Allen said, “We can breathe, so it’s good. Yeah, it was a weird one. It’s still kind of going on, but we’ll be all right.” His words provided reassurance to fans who were concerned about the impact of the injury on his performance.
A New Look for Week 3
As the Bills gear up for their Week 3 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, Allen has introduced a new piece of equipment to his game: a visor. This marks the first time in his NFL career that he will wear a visor during a game, a decision made to provide extra protection for his nose. “Yeah, we’ll see. We’ll probably wear it in the game, just trying to get used to it,” Allen stated earlier in the week.
While this is the first time the visor will make its game debut, it’s not entirely unfamiliar to Allen. He has donned a visor during practice sessions and even wore one during his college career at Wyoming. “Your voice kind of echoes off of it too,” he noted about the experience, adding a humorous twist to his new accessory.
Lighthearted Jokes Among Teammates
The new visor has sparked a wave of playful banter among his teammates, particularly regarding Allen’s nose. Offensive lineman Spencer Brown joined in the fun, joking that Allen’s nose has grown to rival that of teammate Joey Bosa, who is known for his own distinctive nose. “It’s definitely bigger, it’s definitely bigger,” Brown remarked, playfully comparing Allen’s appearance to that of Bosa.
Head coach Sean McDermott added his own lighthearted commentary, stating, “Yeah, his nose didn’t get any bigger, I don’t think. It’s always looked good to me. I think it still looks good. I think we’re in a good spot.”
In response to the ongoing jokes, Allen embraced the humor, quipping that he is now “the third Bosa brother in the league.” His ability to take the banter in stride reflects his personality and camaraderie within the team as they prepare for their next challenge against the Dolphins.
As the Bills look to continue their momentum this season, all eyes will be on Allen—not only to see how he performs with his new visor but also to witness the lighthearted spirit he brings to the locker room.
