Despite Thanksgiving being only a few days away, one Denver player is eating a bit of crow rather than turkey on Sunday.
Following Week 12’s 20-3 Bills victory over the Broncos, cornerback Chris Harris no longer seemed to want to joke around when it came to discussing Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
On Monday, Harris chatted with local reporters and was all smiles talking about Allen and the Bills.
“If I can give him a little advice… I don’t want to actually,” Harris said with a grin and chuckle. “I’m going to say all positive about him today.”
Perhaps it was best that Harris kept that advice to himself, as he ended up getting beat on a 34-yard deep throw from Allen to wide receiver John Brown, that put the Bills up 20-3 in the third quarter:

After the loss, Harris was asked point blank what advice it was that he wanted to give to the quarterback.
“That [expletive] is over with now,” Harris said straight faced in front of his locker.
When asked about the throw that beat him, Harris dismissed it as more of his error, than it being a great play by Allen, or Brown.
“They had run that play like 10 times,” Harris said. “I was just pressing, trying to make a play for our team… so, that’s all it was.”
When John Brown was asked about the TD score, he seemed to sing a different tune.
“He’s a great DB, he reads concepts,” Brown said after the game.
“Every time we came to the flat, you know, he was jumping inside preparing for the slant, or the curl route. I went to the coaches and I told them, you know, double move and you know it was a great call, at the right time.”
While the win put the Bills at 8-3 for the first time since 1996, quieting a player that talked some smack before the game had to be the cherry on top.
As Jalen Ramsey learned first-hand last season, if you’re a DB going up against Allen and the Bills, you might be better off saving the trash talk for after the game.
