Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was one of the main characters of the NFL’s divisional round over the weekend as his prodigious talent clashing with his confounding decision making sparked a divisive debate around whether or not the former MVP deserves sympathy or blame of Buffalo’s postseason struggles.
While the Bills were able to score 30 points on the road against the AFC’s #1 overall seed, Josh Allen had four turnovers in the overtime loss — two interceptions and two fumbles. In the Buffalo Bills’ 33-30 loss to the Denver Broncos, Allen completed 25 of 39 passes for 283 yards, 3 touchdowns, 2 interceptions and 2 fumbles.
With many NFL fans seemingly “hate watching” the Bills on Sunday, they reveled in Buffalo’s loss by mocking Allen over his wife Hailee Steinfeld’s steamy role as Mary in Ryan Coogler’s Sinners.

“Josh Allen ain’t cry this much since the night he saw Sinners,” one NFL tweeted
“Watching Sinners tonight in honor of Josh’s choke,” a second joked.
“Josh Allen definitely watched sinners before the game,” a third trolled.
“Josh Allen now has time to watch Sinners on repeat after this loss. Oh well. No KC and still can’t get over the hump.”
“Josh Allen boutta go home and catch Hailee watching Sinners after that loss.”
“That OT was a tougher watch for Josh Allen than Sinners.”
