Josh Allen, star quarterback of the Buffalo Bills, could sport a clear visor for the upcoming Thursday Night Football game against the Miami Dolphins.
The move is designed to protect his nose, slightly damaged after contact last Sunday against the New York Jets. Despite bleeding impressively in the first quarter, Allen missed just two plays before returning to the field, finishing the game with confidence in a convincing 30-10 victory.
Two days later, he showed up for practice with the visor already attached to his helmet. Used to testing various models in practice, Allen had never worn a visor in an official NFL game. Supporters recall, however, that he used a similar visor at the University of Wyoming.
According to him, the accessory brings no major disadvantage, apart from an extra sensation of heat and a slight echo when he communicates on the field. A detail that doesn't worry the offensive leader, who is determined to adapt in order to remain effective.
Symbolic protection for a durable leader
His coach Sean McDermott added a touch of humor, reminding us that Allen's nose “hasn't changed in size” and that he's still in good condition.
Even his teammates turned the situation into a joke, comparing his temporarily scarred profile to that of Joey Bosa, famous defensive winger. Allen himself humorously responded by saying he had become “the NFL's third Bosa brother”.
Despite this minor incident, Allen was not listed on the injury report. Entering his eighth season, he remains a model of consistency with 107 consecutive starts, the longest active streak among quarterbacks in the league. A consistency reminiscent of Tom Brady's, the last man to reach such a mark.
