As the Buffalo Bills try to keep their Super Bowl alive amidst a somewhat adverse season, they’ll continue to lean on their talisman QB, Josh Allen. With Buffalo set to take on the rival New England Patriots in a pivotal matchup that could weigh a lot on the AFC playoff chase, Allen seemed to be as cool as a cucumber in warm-ups. (It does help that he has a thankful Stefon Diggs to throw to.)
How do I know that? Well, Allen wore the No. 14 jersey of former Bills quarterback turned Thursday Night Football analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick while he got loose. Given that Fitzpatrick was also on hand to make sense of the night’s events, it was a cool way to honor a past beloved Bills player:

Here’s another couple of looks at Allen donning the famous Bills No. 14 of one “Fitzmagic”:

Allen had a pregame over/under of 1.5 passing touchdowns against the Patriots and Defensive Player of the Year contender Matt Judon.
That line honestly might be too low after seeing the Bills superstar’s perfect homage to Fitzpatrick.
NFL fans loved Allen honoring "Fitzmagic" by wearing his old Bills jersey

A reminder that Ryan Fitzpatrick has played for every AFC East team except for the Patriots, and beat the Patriots at least once in each of those stops. https://t.co/h6t5aoHnPH
