Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen warmed the hearts of NFL fans after a video was published showing the starter approaching former Bills kicker Stephen Hauschka on the sidelines before Saturday’s game vs. the Los Angeles Chargers.
Hauschka attended the game with his wife, Lindsey, and his son, Jones. While Allen was warming up in Buffalo on Saturday, he noticed the Hauschkas standing on the sidelines. He quickly ran over to his former teammate and gave the family a few hugs.
Allen appeared to remember Hauschka’s entire family on sight, and the two exchanged some memories before Allen got back to his warmup. Check out the sweet interaction below.
