Bills DT Defends Josh Allen After Slight From Rival Quarterback

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver took to social media to issue a response to Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, whose controversial ranking of the league’s top quarterbacks initially omitted Allen ¹ ².

In a recent appearance on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, Stroud listed Patrick Mahomes among the league’s top quarterbacks, adding two-time league MVP Lamar Jackson, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, and Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles. Stroud rounded out the list by adding himself, but kept Allen out of his initial rankings ¹ ².

Oliver took to Instagram to post a clip of Stroud’s ranking and his commentary on Allen’s snub. Oliver wrote in his Instagram story, “Yeah he tripping fasho no Josh Allen” ¹ ².

Stroud seemed to realize his mistake, later taking to Instagram to give some love to both Allen and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. Stroud knocked Hurts off the list and bumped Prescott down a bit to make room for Allen and Burrow ¹ ².

This is not the first time that Oliver has spoken up on behalf of someone on the Bills. Back in December, after several players spoke critically of head coach Sean McDermott in an article, Oliver publicly backed his coach and called out the players who criticized him ¹.

Allen joined Oliver in backing McDermott, saying no one should be questioning his character or commitment to the players ¹.

Josh Allen finished the 2023 campaign with 4,306 passing yards and 29 touchdowns. He rounded his stat line out with 524 rushing yards and 15 additional scores, his 44 total touchdowns placing him at the top of the league in that statistic. He earned an NFL MVP vote, indicating that he wasn’t just one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL last season, but one of the best players ².
