The Buffalo Bills’ faithful were into it on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Between pre-game antics with Jalen Ramsey to Leonard Fournette’s ejection, Buffalo’s rookie quarterback in Josh Allen had a front row seat to the love Bills Mafia had to offer.

On Monday, Allen gave some back.

Allen and second-year left tackle Dion Dawkins participated in a fan Q&A at Dos Amigos on the Lake in Blasdell. There, Allen dubbed the fan base as his favorite reason for being a Bill.

“They show up for every game. They do,” Allen said, via the Buffalo News.

“If you came in [to Buffalo for a game] not knowing football or not knowing records, you would have thought we had the best record in the league, because we showed out. If it wasn’t sold out, it was pretty dang close. The noise in there was awesome.”

Allen continued: “That builds our confidence as we go out there, so we appreciate you guys. And you guys may not know that, but you guys are a huge key to our wins at home, because it’s a tough place to play and teams don’t want to come up here in the cold, and then they have to face the Bills Mafia in the stands, as well.”

So far in his rookie season, Allen’s been sent on a roller coaster by the franchise. At first, he wasn’t supposed to start. Nathan Peterman and AJ McCarron assured he did.

He’s taken his lumps as 22-year-old QB. So far, Allen has a 52.5 completion percentage, only 992 yards and three touchdowns to five interceptions this season. Against the Jaguars in a 24-21 win, Allen had the best game of his career to date with 160 passing yards, 99 rushing yards, and two total touchdowns.

But Allen said at the fan event that things haven’t been perfect and he recognized the fans still have his back, which is why, as he explained, he feels fortunate to have been drafted to western New York.

“Listen, I love Buffalo. I already do,” Allen said. “I’m so thankful and so blessed to be able to be here. It’s my type of town, my type of city. I’m just thankful to play with these guys, my teammates, my coaches.” Allen said. “All I want to do is win football games, and that’s it. I don’t care how ugly, how pretty it looks. If we’re winning football games, that’s what makes me the happiest, and to do it with these guys makes it that much sweeter.”
