Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw an interception to Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard, and then picked a fight with the largest man on the field.
Xavien Howard is one of the best cornerbacks in football for a reason. The Dolphins ballhawk made a beautiful interception on Josh Allen in the first half of Miami’s playoff game against the Buffalo Bills.
During Howard’s return, Allen took out his frustration on Dolphins defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. The Clemson product is charted at 311 pounds, so he wasn’t about to take a shove from a quarterback, despite Allen’s respectable frame.
Wilkins shoved Allen back, which led to Buffalo’s entire offensive line challenging the 27-year-old on the sideline. Offsetting personal fouls were called, and no one was ejected.
Josh Allen wasn’t afraid of Christian Wilkins
Josh Allen’s frustration is warranted, as his intended receiver cut off his route early, which caused the interception. Rather than yell at his target on the sidelines, Allen merely shoved Wilkins, who is nearly 80 pounds heavier than the Bills signal-caller.
Allen is one of the best quarterbacks in all of football, and he’s not afraid to throw his body around. While Buffalo and Sean McDermott would rather him pick his battles a little more wisely, Allen wasn’t about to take an unnecessary hit from Wilkins, who was trying to throw a block for Howard down the sideline.
