Josh Allen’s chat with referee Bill Vinovich was misinterpreted, clarifying the situation after a controversial game moment
After the game, Allen explained that Vinovich was just telling him to calm down. He was pretty fired up about a missed call on a defensive pass interference. It seemed like a clear foul, but the refs didn’t see it that way.
The clip made it look like Vinovich was apologizing, but Allen cleared that up. He admitted he was yelling a bit and Vinovich just said, “don’t be yellin.” Allen even joked about it, saying, “Sorry Bill.”
When asked if Vinovich apologized, Allen played it cool and just smiled. Some people thought there was something fishy going on, like special treatment for Allen.
Social media blew up with opinions, with some saying they’d never seen a ref so friendly with a QB after a missed call. But really, it was just a quick chat to keep things calm.
In the end, Buffalo won the game, and now they’re gearing up to face the Ravens in the AFC divisional round. Exciting times ahead!
