Josh Allen is good at every single sport he plays, whether it be a softball match or football, the quarterback nails it. The Bills signal-caller marked his presence at All pro-safety Micah Hyde’s Charity Softball Game on Sunday. Not only did he hit the ball out of the park, but he also managed to defend his title for the second time.

The charity match was held at Sahlen Field in Buffalo with the loudest cheers for the Bills quarterback Josh Allen. The 25-year-old made sure that he didn’t disappoint the fans, hitting four balls over the fence and defending his title in the event’s Home Run Derby.

If the New York Legend Babe Ruth would have been alive, he wouldn’t have been more proud to see Allen flicking some cool shots. The way he hit the last ball filled with swag made the fans unable to hold back their seats and cheer loudly for the quarterback.

While he was receiving his giant trophy, reporters asked him about his plans for the upcoming season and Super Bowl contention. The youngster didn’t mince his words, but rather pulled off the answer in style.

“This is a placeholder for when we win in February,” Allen said. Even though he never played in a Super Bowl, he is confident enough to make it this time. With heavy hearts, Josh Allen and his teammate Micah Hade were able to entertain more than 10,000 fans present at the stadium.

The Buffalo community was stunned to witness a tragic incident on Saturday with a fully armored man firing bullets in the Tops friendly market. Around ten people were dead, and 3 of them were severely injured.

“Thank you Bills Mafia and the entire Buffalo community for coming together today as we begin the long process of support and healing for our community. We are sending prayers to the families impacted, and we will be donating a portion of today’s game proceeds to the families” he said.

Even before the match started, the event sponsors donated $200,000 to Hyde’s foundation. Earlier, Hyde was planning to halt Sunday’s Baseball game. But he decided to move ahead because more than 8000 tickets were already sold, and that money would eventually fill the pockets of victim families.
