The relationship that exists between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has found its way to Highmark Stadium. When Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, referenced the name of a well-known pop star in a pre-snap scenario, he grabbed the attention of football fans in person and on X.
Before the Bucs game on Thursday night, the Bills made a move on Josh Norman that has fans talking. Before the game, Buffalo received a devastating update on tight end Dawson Knox that few could have predicted.
At Highmark Field on Thursday night, the Bills were ahead of Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As the play progressed, Allen called out to his teammates, and that’s when the unexpected line was said.
A supporter remarked, “He’s saying JR Smith, JR Smith,” in reference to Allen’s directives to his Buffalo teammates.
On X, additional fans reported hearing “JR Smith.” Naturally, Smith was a teammate of the legendary LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the past.
As they tried to figure out what Allen was saying at the moment, other readers posted emojis of laughter and tears. After reading Allen’s remarks during the huddle, another reader referred to Swift and Kelce as a “power couple” and claimed that the pop sensation and the Chiefs tight end are “taking over football.”
One more reader pointed out that Allen had mentioned LeBron James earlier in the evening when discussing his audibles package with the Bills. Regarding his pre-snap reads, Allen won’t be confused for Peyton Manning anytime soon, but after his performance on Thursday, both before and after the huddle, he definitely won over a number of new fans.
Shortly after Allen’s audible, the Buccaneers knotted the game at ten to ten, raising the possibility that he miscalled his call before the snap.
