While it’s hard to blame them, considering the state of the game at the time, but Josh Allen had a pretty clear message for Buffalo Bills fans on Sunday night.
Allen, speaking after Buffalo pulled off a wild comeback to stun the Baltimore Ravens 41-40 at Highmark Stadium on Sunday night, called out Bills fans that made for the exits earlier in the fourth quarter when the team was down by 15 points.
“Our team didn’t quit. I mean, I think there’s people that left the stadium,” Allen said on NBC. “That’s OK, we’ll be fine. But have some faith next time.”
The Ravens, thanks in part to a huge first half from Derrick Henry, built up a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter and appeared to be in full control of the contest on Sunday. But the Bills mounted a very quick comeback and rattled off 16 points in less than four full minutes to complete the stunner. New Bills kicker Matt Prater, now in his 19th season in the league, finished things off with a 32-yard field goal.

But up until the time that Henry fumbled late in the fourth quarter, the Ravens were in full control — and that seemed to be getting to Bills fans. One even shoved Lamar Jackson and DeAndre Hopkins in the helmet as they were celebrating a wild touchdown grab, and another appeared to throw a water bottle toward Henry.
Naturally, as time started ticking down on the clock, many started heading for the exits in an effort to beat traffic.
Allen ended up going 33-46 for 394 yards with two touchdowns in the win for the Bills. He had two more touchdowns on the ground, too. Keon Coleman had 112 yards and a touchdown on eight catches, and James Cook had 44 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. The Bills are the first team in NFL history to win a game despite the other team putting up at least 40 points and 235 rushing yards, too. Previously, teams with that statline were a perfect 277-0.

While some fans will always leave a game early, it’s safe to assume that the majority of Bills fans will at least think twice before doing so next time. Otherwise, they might just miss the next great comeback win Allen and the Bills pull off.
