Minutes before halftime, Cleveland Browns‘ defensive end Alex Wright went on a near-rampage. With the Buffalo Bills leading 20-10, Wright shook off offensive tackle Spencer Brown and went straight after Josh Allen. The result? Allen retreating until he spun near the goal line and hit the ground. Touched down by DE Mason Graham for a 22-yard loss at the one-yard line, the quarterback also twisted his foot during the fall, a major cause for worry initially. But not anymore.

“We’re gravy, baby,” Allen told CBS’ Evan Washburn after the 23-20 win. ‘”It’s all good. Go Bills!”

This comes before the signal-caller had detailed more about his injury.

“No, I don’t think so. Just tweaked my foot a little bit,” he told reporters during a post-game interview when asked if his injury affected the game’s second half. “Just flamed up on me a little bit. Pain subsided, so we’re good.”

Notably, what worried many was the quarterback grabbing his right leg immediately after the play in the second quarter and limping back to the huddle. He was also seen walking off the field uncomfortably after carrying for 1 yard on third-and-23.

While the Bills announced that Allen was cleared to return in the second half after positive X-ray results on his foot, the sight at the end of the game didn’t look like it.

The 29-year-old limped off the field in the final minutes of the clash and sat on the bench again. Trainers then took off his right cleat before Allen walked back to the locker room without a shoe on his right foot.

But the injury is not the only thing to worry about for Josh Allen. He also issued a verdict on his team’s performance against the Browns.

Josh Allen on a hard-fought win over the Browns

After defeating the New England Patriots in Week 15, the Buffalo Bills were clear favorites in this matchup. However, the Cleveland Browns didn’t make it easy for the five-time AFC East champions, as Shedeur Sanders went 20 of 29 for 157 yards with a touchdown, two interceptions and added four carries for 49 yards.

What’s more, the Bills were outgained on offense (294 to 259 yards), failed on both of their fourth-down tries and Allen wasn’t his best self with zero touchdowns and two sacks. The team also averaged just 1.9 yards per play toward the end of the game, down from 10 yards per play in the first half.

Expectedly, after the win, Josh Allen highlighted how this performance was a team effort, but they still need some improvements over the coming games.

“It takes everybody,” Allen said. “They’re fighting hard, too. It doesn’t got to look pretty. We’re just trying to find a way to win a football game, and that’s what we did today, and got some stuff to clean up.”

Now with the Philadelphia Eagles next on the schedule, the Bills Mafia will expect a better performance from Josh Allen and Co. as they host the defending Super Bowl Champions.
