The Buffalo Bills are gearing up for the most anticipated showdown of the NFL season.
The juggernaut Bills are taking on the red-hot Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. There's plenty at stake as the Bills currently hold the number one overall seed in the AFC.
This has the makings to be an all-time classic as MVP candidates Joe Burrow and Josh Allen duel for the opportunity to have the playoffs run through their respective home stadiums.
Reported text messages surfaces
While all eyes are on the upcoming matchup, recent text messages have reportedly surfaced that shine a light on the Bills franchise.
In a must-read recent story by The Athletic's Kalyn Kahler that takes you behind the scenes of the Bills' QB room, a three-line text sent by Allen in March steals the show. You can check it out in the tweet below.
Josh Allen proved to be the master negotiator, reportedly, by tying in fan-favorite Matt Barkley to the deal.
One could argue that the biggest off-season move in Bills' history was the acquisition of Von Miller. Even more so, how it went down had many NFL fans scratching their heads.
McDermott and Beane and the entire Bills front office run a very tight ship. During the offseason, there was no mention of Von Miller to Buffalo. In fact, it seemed almost a forgone conclusion that Von would either stay in Los Angeles or return to Denver.
Background
Now, information has surfaced detailing Josh Allen's impact on the decision, and how it possibly reshaped the Bills' trajectory to Super Bowl favorites.
The text message changed the future of the franchise in what the Bills were able to acquire. Buffalo landed a premiere, future Hall-of-Fame, pass rusher that could wreak havoc on opposing defenses.
Before his unfortunate injury, Miller showcased why he was worth every penny. Terrorizing offensive lines and quarterbacks and leading the team in sacks.
Furthermore, Miller's locker room presence, leadership, and championship-caliber mentality are essential for the growth of several young players in the locker room.
The Josh Allen effect
All it took was a Josh Allen text message to potentially reshape the course of the Bills' history. As it sits right now, the future is bright in Buffalo. Drafting Josh Allen and his masterful texting abilities are two of the best things to ever happen to the franchise.
If it winds up bringing a Super Bowl to Buffalo, Bills Mafia might be clamoring to get that text hung in the Louvre.
