Bills' Josh Allen gets a huge win without playing a single snap of football before Falcons matchup

Buffalo Bills franchise quarterback Josh Allen has been a difference-maker on the football field since being drafted by the Bills. He's destroyed narratives and critics left and right with his play on the field, and has ascended to be one of the very best at his position across the league.

Allen's journey to the NFL is well-documented, having played high school football in Firebaugh, California, and then receiving no Division I offers. After being forced to play at Reedley College, Allen was given an offer from the University of Wyoming, and the rest is history.

The reigning MVP is having his name immortalized at his former high school, with the field being named the "Josh Allen Field," which is pretty awesome. Before playing a single snap against the Atlanta Falcons, Allen got a huge win. Allen's family was in attendance for a special ceremony, as the team played its first game on the "Josh Allen Field."

A partnership was announced with New Era, with Allen earning the title of 'Director of Billustration,' along with a deal with New Balance that gives back to the communities surrounding Firebaugh, California. Allen is finding ways to give back in a big way, and it's yet another reason why the Bills Mafia loves their franchise quarterback so much.
