Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen went into Sunday’s AFC Wild Card matchup against the Dolphins with just one playoff interception thrown in his career. He was not pleased to throw that second pick.
During the second quarter, Allen had a deep pass picked off by Xavien Howard. And after Howard completed his return across midfield, the two teams needed to be separated as a scuffle broke out.
Replays of the heated moment would show who was responsible for starting it all, and hilariously enough, that player wasn’t in the pile at all. It was Josh Allen.
Allen was unhappy that the Dolphins’ Christian Wilkins shoved him during the return, so he responded by, well, shoving Wilkins back a few times.
Josh Allen really started a fight then casually walked off like he wasn’t the problem 😂 pic.twitter.com/o94Tye11ux

When Mitch Morse came into the frame to defend Allen, that was when Allen decided to simply walk away as the scuffle escalated.
Sure, Allen was never going to be expected to get into the center of a fight, but the images of him starting a fight and walking away inspired plenty of jokes from NFL fans.
