Bills QB Josh Allen Issues 3-Word Statement on His Mistakes
Bills QB Josh Allen Issues 3-Word Statement on His Mistakes
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was careful with the football through the start of the year, going through the first seven games of the season without throwing an interception, but has encountered some troubles recently.
Allen has thrown four interceptions through the team’s last three games, including two in a 30-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 10. Speaking to reporters after the game, Allen delivered a stern message on his own play and the need to cut back on mistakes.
“Can’t have that,” Allen said of his interceptions.
Josh Allen Praised for ‘Brilliant’ Moments
Despite the two interceptions, Allen was otherwise sharp as the Bills jumped out to their best start since the 1993 season. He went 22-of-37 passing for 280 yards, adding eight rushes for 50 yards and a rushing touchdown.
The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia noted that Allen had some “brilliant” moments, including a scramble that led to a 44-yard completion to wide receiver Mack Hollins late in the first half, leading to a Bills field goal.
Hollins told reporters after the game that he knows a play is never dead as long as Allen has the ball.
“Obviously, [Allen] wanted to scramble, which is what Josh is really good at, so I know the play’s not dead,” Hollins said, via ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg. “He threw it and then couldn’t see it at all, but I said if I can slide and get some more time to find it again, I wish it wasn’t sunny. I probably could have scored on it, but then just always knowing the situation [in a two-minute drill].”
Buscaglia also added some context to Allen’s interceptions, pointing out that neither was entirely on him.
“On the surface, one of the two interceptions looked like a horrible throw that fell well short of the intended target, but the replays clearly showed Allen’s shoulder was hit during his throwing motion, which likely threw off the trajectory of the pass,” Buscaglia wrote. “Those types of things happen from time to time in the NFL, and he’s been pretty fortunate that it hasn’t happened more often this season.”
Bills Overcome Mistakes in Big Win
The Bills were able to overcome the interceptions thanks in part to an aggressive defense, one that picked off Colts quarterback Joe Flacco three times, with cornerback Taron Johnson returning one for a touchdown. The Bills also sacked Flacco four times and forced a fumble from the quarterback that led to points for the Bills.
“I thought the defense, the takeaways was a big-time difference in the game,” Bills head coach Sean McDermott said after the game. “I think they’re just a very competitive group, they take a lot of pride in not letting each other down.”
The Bills offense topped 30 points for the fourth consecutive game.
The win gave the Bills a big boost in an otherwise floundering division, moving them five games ahead of the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins. The Bills will now have a strong chance to clinch the division before the end of November and will have a chance to make up ground on conference-leading Kansas City Chiefs when the teams face off in Buffalo next week.

BAD NEWS: Alvin Kamara’s Injury Status Is Rough News for Saints as he will miss……
The running back is currently dealing with a groin issue.
It’s more bad news for the New Orleans Saints and their injured running back, Alvin Kamara.
Kamara is currently dealing with a groin injury, and it was revealed Thursday that the problem is “more significant” than originally believed, per head coach Darren Rizzi, who says that the running back is unlikely to play Monday versus the Green Bay Packers. New Orleans Football reporter Nick Underhill adds that Kamara is “week to week” right now.
Alvin Kamara’s injury is more significant than believed. He’s week to week and unlikely to play on Monday
— Nick Underhill (@nick_underhill) December 19, 2024
With just three games left in the regular season and the Saints’ playoff hopes dashed, it’s possible Kamara does not play again this year.
The 29-year-old suffered the injury against the Washington Commanders in Week 15. On Wednesday, the Saints signed waived Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire to their practice squad, possibly in connection to Kamara’s absence.
So far this season, Kamara has racked up 950 rushing yards, 543 receiving yards, and 8 total touchdowns.

Saints Head Coach Darren Rizzi Breaks Silences as He Announces NFL Super Star Taysom Hill Has Reportedly Expressed His Willingness to Forgo His Upcoming Contract in Order to Accomplish his..
New Orleans Saints Head Coach Darren Rizzi has officially addressed the media following reports that NFL star Taysom Hill has expressed his willingness to forgo his upcoming contract. The versatile player, known for his ability to line up in multiple positions, is reportedly open to restructuring his deal in order to help the team strengthen its roster and maintain its competitive edge.
Rizzi confirmed Hill’s willingness to make this significant sacrifice, noting that Hill’s dedication to the team and its success has always been evident. “Taysom has always been about what’s best for the Saints,” Rizzi said. “He is the ultimate team player, and his willingness to adjust his contract to support the future of this organization speaks volumes about his character and commitment.”
Hill, who has played multiple roles for the Saints, including quarterback, tight end, and special teams contributor, is considered one of the most versatile players in the NFL. His ability to impact the game in a variety of ways has made him invaluable to the Saints, but Hill’s future with the team was uncertain due to the impending contract negotiations.
While the details of the new contract have not been disclosed, Hill’s willingness to help ensure the team’s success speaks to his unselfish attitude and leadership qualities. The Saints are expected to leverage this flexibility to secure key additions to their roster, potentially enhancing their depth across multiple positions.
Rizzi’s statement comes as the Saints are focused on building a championship-contending squad for the future. “Taysom’s decision to prioritize the team’s goals is a reflection of the kind of culture we’ve been building here in New Orleans,” Rizzi added.
progresses, the Saints will likely be looking for ways to capitalize on Hill’s sacrifice and ensure that the team remains competitive both in the short and long term.

BREAKING NEWS: Jets’ Aaron Rodgers Reveals his Retirement Plans Following……..
BREAKING NEWS: Jets’ Aaron Rodgers Reveals his Retirement Plans Following……..
There is a ton of speculation regarding the playing future of New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers himself has now detailed what his plans are following the conclusion of the 2024 season.
According to Zack Rosenblatt, “Aaron Rodgers said he’ll take some time after the season to decide what he wants to do future-wise ‘unless I get released right away.’ But even then, he plans on taking some time to decide his NFL future.”
Apparently, Rodgers plans to decide his future at the end of the season after taking some time. He will do so regardless if the Jets release him or not.
Rodgers was meant to lead the Jets to a playoff berth, and the team was even slated as a dark horse Super Bowl candidate. That has not been the case, and New York has only gone from bad to worse following Robert Saleh being let go.
Saleh was unceremoniously fired after five weeks, leading to the Jets placing Jeff Ulbrich in the driver’s seat. Jets owner Woody Johnson revealed that Ulbrich would have a shot at earning the job permanently depending on how well he did.
The Jets have regressed since Ulbrich took over, posting a current 4-10 record. Rodgers has also not played anywhere near his normal Pro Bowl self. The longtime veteran has thrown 3,255 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions.
Though Rodgers’ numbers are not terrible on paper, he has not been able to lead his team to many wins. It would be believed that the Jets are aiming to cut him to save money on the cap, while they also draft a much better prospect in the quarterback-heavy draft.
Rodgers is also 41 years old and his regression has led many to believe that he will finally retire. Following his season-ending Achilles injury in 2023, it was believed he would walk away from the game of football. However, he remained only for the Jets to once again be irrelevant in the AFC.
Though many teams could call Rodgers should the Jets release him, he might not have what it takes to lead anymore, and could find himself as a backup to a young upstart quarterback.
For now, it appears Rodgers will take some time off to assess his future. It would not be the least bit shocking if he decides to walk away from the NFL following this season.
