In a recent Thursday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, quarterback Josh Allen found himself at the center of a unique audible controversy. As the game kicked off at Orchard Park, Allen appeared to make a change at the line of scrimmage, leading some NFL fans to believe that he used the name of pop star Taylor Swift as part of his audible call.
Key Takeaway
The audible controversy surrounding Josh Allen’s possible use of Taylor Swift’s name during the ‘TNF’ game has sparked a spirited discussion among NFL fans. While some are convinced that the quarterback mentioned the pop star, others believe it was a different name entirely. The incident, however, did not affect Allen’s performance or the outcome of the game, as the Bills emerged victorious.
The Audible Incident
Just minutes into the first quarter, Allen stepped away from his center and exclaimed a name repeatedly. While some fans clearly heard “Taylor Swift!” and immediately got excited due to her recent connection with Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce, others remain skeptical and argue that the quarterback actually yelled out “J.R. Smith!”
The Debate
The disagreement among fans has intensified, with some even turning to social media to express their varied interpretations. Amazon Prime Video added to the controversy by tweeting a video of the audible moment with the caption, “‘TAYLOR SWIFT, TAYLOR SWIFT.’ Josh Allen with a swift audible.” This amplification from a significant platform only added fuel to the ongoing debate.
Interestingly, this was not the only notable audible call made by Allen during the game. Throughout the evening, he used other intriguing names such as “LeBron James,” “Jamal Adams,” and “Bobby Wagner.” These audibles added an element of excitement and speculation for the fans.
Impact on the Game
Regardless of which name Allen actually used in his audible call, this controversy did not negatively affect the Bills’ performance. Buffalo went on to dominate the game and emerged victorious with a 24-18 win over Tampa Bay.
