Sunday’s clash between the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots had drama written all over it — and then some.
The Bills erased a massive hole, storming back from 21 points down to steal a 35–31 win and keep their AFC East hopes alive.
But buried inside that comeback was an image nobody expected to see from the league’s reigning MVP.
Josh Allen, the face of Buffalo’s franchise, was caught on camera doing something far from glamorous.
When the Cameras Caught Too Much
As the Bills mounted their rally inside Gillette Stadium, CBS cameras zoomed in on Allen near the sideline.
Instead of studying coverages or chatting with coaches, the quarterback was doubled over, throwing up near the bench.
The timing couldn’t have been stranger.
Allen was moments away from heading back onto the field to respond to Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson ripping off a 65-yard touchdown run.
Buffalo was still trailing 31–28 with under ten minutes left in the fourth quarter.
And yet, there he was — visibly sick, wiping his mouth, and then pulling himself together.
Not the One Fans Expected to Be Sick
The moment raised eyebrows for another reason too.
Just days earlier, Allen and actress wife Hailee Steinfeld had shared pregnancy news, leading many fans to joke that if anyone should be dealing with nausea, it wasn’t the quarterback.
Instead, Allen was the one battling his stomach — and somehow, it didn’t slow him down.
Straight Back to Business
After the brief sideline episode, Allen jogged back onto the field like nothing had happened.
What followed was a calm, clinical response: a seven-play, 65-yard drive that ended with Buffalo taking the lead for good.
The Bills never looked back. New England wouldn’t score again.
Allen Shrugs It Off After the Win
When reporters asked about the moment after the game, Allen barely flinched.
He insisted it wasn’t nerves, pressure, or the weight of a must-win rivalry game.
According to him, it’s almost routine.
“If they don’t catch it every game, I don’t know,” Allen said.
“It basically happens every game.”
He explained that if he doesn’t “get enough out” before kickoff or at halftime, it tends to catch up with him later — sometimes in the third or fourth quarter.
No medical explanation, no drama.
Just something his body does.
Numbers That Still Told the Real Story
Whatever was going on internally didn’t show up on the stat sheet.
Allen finished 19 of 28 for 193 yards and tossed three touchdown passes.
He also leaned heavily on James Cook, who delivered a huge afternoon.
Cook ran for two touchdowns, caught another, and piled up 107 yards on 22 carries as Buffalo flipped a 21–0 deficit into a season-saving victory.
A Familiar Script for Buffalo
This wasn’t the first time the Bills had stared down a big deficit this year.
They’ve now pulled off three double-digit comebacks, including rallying late against Baltimore and Cincinnati earlier in the season.
The win pushed Buffalo to 10–4, marking the franchise’s seventh straight season with double-digit victories.
It also ensured they avoided being swept by a division rival for the first time since 2019.
Patriots Stumble but Stay on Top
For New England, the loss stung.
The Patriots saw a 10-game winning streak snapped and dropped their first divisional game of the season.
Still, at 11–3, they remain atop the AFC East, holding a one-game edge over Buffalo with three games left.
Drake Maye had two rushing touchdowns, while Henderson torched the Bills for 148 yards on just 14 carries, scoring from 52 and 65 yards.
One Final Chance, Then It Was Over
The Patriots had one last opportunity, trailing 35–31 with 2:43 remaining.
Facing fourth-and-5 deep in their own territory, Maye scrambled under pressure before Joey Bosa got a hand on the pass and knocked it down.
That was it. Buffalo drained the clock, walked off with the win, and left behind an unforgettable image — a quarterback who puked, regrouped, and then ripped the heart out of a division rival.
