Josh Allen put his blood, sweat, tears, and more into Sunday’s win.

 

 

 

The Bills quarterback was seen vomiting on the sidelines during the fourth quarter of Buffalo’s 35–31 comeback victory over the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium.

“It basically happens every game,” Allen told reporters after the game, describing what has long been considered an unfortunate pre-game ritual.

“If I don’t get enough out pregame… It just happens.”

 

 

 

CBS cameras caught the reigning MVP, draped in a blue sideline cape coat, tossing cookies after New England’s Trey’Von Henderson erupted for a 65-yard, go-ahead touchdown run that put the Pats up three with just over nine minutes to go.

But the Bills punched right back, retaking the lead with an 11-yard rush from James Cook — and cementing the final score with an extra point from Matt Prater.

 

 

 

Allen, 29, spurred the valiant comeback effort after Buffalo trudged into the tunnel facing a steep 24–7 deficit at intermission.

The Bills erupted for 28 points in the second half, with the former Wyoming standout finishing his night 19 of 28 passing for 193 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions.

“It basically happens every game,” Allen told reporters after the game, reflecting on his sideline sickness.

It marked Buffalo’s third double-digit comeback of the season, with the Bills rallying from a 15-point, fourth-quarter deficit against the Ravens in the season opener and clawing out of a 10-point hole against the Bengals just last week — with Allen playing a starring role in both efforts.

With their third consecutive win, the Bills (10–4) avenged their Week 5 loss to the Patriots (11–3) and snapped their 10-game winning streak.

 

 

 

Buffalo also moved within one game of New England in the AFC East standings with just three weeks to go. It added to the happy time for Allen, who is expecting his first child with wife Hailee Steinfeld.

The Bills continue their road trip against the Cleveland Browns on Dec. 21.
