Bills’ Josh Allen fires shot at Baker Mayfield ahead of Week 11 showdown, and fans are loving it
Both quarterbacks took some hilarious shots at one another.
The Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set for action in Week 11.
The game features two quarterbacks from the same draft class in Bills’ Josh Allen and Bucs’ Baker Mayfield. Both careers have been vastly different, though.
Allen has remained in Buffalo for his entire career so far and has ascended to one of the best at his position. Meanwhile, Mayfield bounced around the league before being given a shot with the Bucs, and he’s proven several teams were incorrect about him. He’s having a great season and deserves his flowers.
Healthy relationship between Allen and Mayfield
With both being from the same draft class, there’s a friendly competition between the two. Ahead of the matchup, Mayfield started out on the fun first, calling out Allen in a hilarious way.
“I have to walkie-talkie to him, he’s so damn tall [ . . . ] in Buffalo it’s cold and rainy,” Mayfield said. “Even though he’s 6’10”, his hands are small. So he better wear his gloves.”
Once Allen heard about the hilarious shot, he took one of his own back at Mayfield. Some friendly banter before the showdown.
“That’s crazy [ . . . ] Baker wears two gloves golfing, so he’s that type of guy,” Allen said. “I love the guy, he’s awesome.”
Allen versus Mayfield in previous matchups
This will be the third time in their careers that the quarterbacks will meet on game day. Mayfield beat the Bills while he was playing with the Cleveland Browns in 2019, 19-16 in Ohio. In their next meetup, in 2023, the Bills and Bucs met, with Allen taking home the victory.
Allen threw for over 300 yards and two touchdowns with an interception, while adding 41 yards on the ground and a touchdown. Mayfield threw for over 230 yards, with two touchdowns.
As the Buffalo Bills reported, Mayfield and Allen are two of three quarterbacks who have more than 60 total touchdowns since 2024.
With both quarterbacks playing at a high level entering Week 11, their third head-to-head meeting adds another layer of intrigue and excitement. Sunday’s matchup should have plenty of fireworks between two of the NFL’s most productive passers.
