The quarterback tried to downplay the issue, saying he was “fine,” though later reports suggested he minimized the situation to stay on the field. Head coach Sean McDermott stressed the team must sharpen details if it wants to compete in January.
The immediate future
Josh Allen left the stadium without a walking boot, but a deeper evaluation is expected. The Bills’ offense already struggled against Philadelphia, scoring their first points with only five minutes left. If Allen isn’t fully healthy, Buffalo could enter the postseason at a disadvantage.
If Jalen Hurts
– lost a fumble that ended up losing 27 yards
– took a sack for a loss of 21 on 3rd & 8
– missed this 2-pt throw to end the gamehe’d be buried endlessly for the next week, and then some.

As Marca highlighted, Allen’s record is historic, but his physical condition raises serious doubts about the Bills’ playoff chances. Fans know that without their leader at full strength, the path becomes far more complicated.
Between glory and doubt
Josh Allen lives in contrast: the glory of a record that places him among the league’s elite, and the uncertainty of an injury that could derail Buffalo’s dream. His challenge now is to prove he can handle the pressure and keep alive the hope of a city that trusts his arm and his character.
