LOADINGERROR LOADINGQuarterback Josh Allen and the rest of the Buffalo Bills have one of the league’s most devoted followings, but the reigning MVP questioned the commitment of some fans on Sunday.After leading Buffalo from a 15-point deficit with about 4 minutes left to a 41-40 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, he took issue with spectators’ premature exit. USA Today reported the Bills’ stadium was a third empty in the fourth quarter.Advertisement
“I think there’s people that left the stadium,” Allen said. “That’s OK. We’ll be fine. But have some faith next time.” Josh Allen: "Our team didn't quit. I mean, I think there's people that left the stadium. That's okay. We'll be fine.

But it took a 60-yard field goal by Chris Boswell to get them over the top.20 Years OfFreeJournalismYour SupportFuelsOur MissionYour SupportFuelsOur MissionFor two decades, HuffPost has been fearless, unflinching, and relentless in pursuit of the truth.
