Among the attendees at the NFL Honors this past weekend was Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
While excited for the event, Allen still kept the big picture in mind. At that point, there was still one game to go, Super Bowl LIV. The Chiefs went on to beat the 49ers in the season’s final game.
In that moment, Allen wished much more that he was prepping for that game instead of hanging out at some awards show.
“This is crazy, I feel like a movie star, don’t like it. I want to play football,” Allen said via 13WHAM-TV. “I’d rather be preparing for a game than walking down this carpet.”
“It does put things into perspective how close we were this season,” Allen added.
But while taking in the event, Allen knew he had some sort of rooting interests at the NFL Honors.
Head coach Sean McDermott was a finalist for Coach of the Year. While certainly biased, Allen was pulling for McDermott, who ended up receiving two votes for the award.
“We follow his [McDermott’s] lead. He comes in, all of our team meetings…his example that is set forth and the examples of stuff in the game and teaching us situational football. He’s been fantastic for us,” Allen said.
With the Super Bowl in the books, the 2019 season has officially come to a close. Look for Allen and his teammate to make strides to continue their development and success throughout the offseason.
