Quarterback Josh Allen was sensational Sunday in the Bills’ 28-21 win over the Chiefs at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York.
Allen completed 23 of 26 passes for 273 yards and a touchdown, and he rushed for two scores.
But Allen also came under fire from fans for a fourth-quarter rush. With Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton bearing down on him, Allen slid. Bolton touched Allen’s helmet as he ran past the Buffalo quarterback.
Allen, who is 6 foot 5 and 237 pounds, jerked his head back in an effort to draw a roughing penalty on Bolton. Fortunately for the Chiefs, Allen’s acting job wasn’t good enough to draw a flag.
Here is the play in question.
It was, however, enough to draw a strong rebuke from fans — and it wasn’t just Chiefs supporters who spoke out about Allen’s egregious attempt to get a penalty called.
“Every week you can add another clip to the Josh Allen flopping compilation,” wrote a Jets fan. “1/1 talent why do you have to flop ... so consistently”
Another fan wrote: “That Josh Allen flop would be screamed about if roles were reversed.”
A third shared this: “Josh Allen is such a joke sometimes. The bush league flop was lame.”
Another wrote: “Once again @BuffaloBills very own Josh Allen trying to flop for a call. Bills Mafia should be embarrassed.”
