Cameras panned to him on the sidelines throwing it all up, yikes.” Despite the alarming sight, Allen later addressed the incident, revealing that this was a common occurrence for him during games. He stated, “It basically happens every game.”
Sports Illustrated reported that an announcer mentioned Allen was “going through it” as a person on the sidelines approached him while he was experiencing discomfort. However, Allen showed his resilience by quickly returning to the field with no signs of illness after the incident. The Bills went on to win the game with a score of 35-31, showcasing Allen’s determination and tenacity on the field.
Fans took to social media to praise Allen for his ability to continue playing despite feeling unwell. One commentator noted, “Josh Allen puking on the sidelines and still playing like this? He really is Superman.” Another admirer expressed admiration for Allen’s quick recovery, stating, “Josh Allen was just vomiting on the sidelines and now he’s back to throwing down the field in like less than five minutes. This guy is superhuman and frankly he scares me.”
Following the game, Allen clarified that his vomiting episodes were not a cause for concern and were simply a result of a strange feeling he experiences during games. He explained, “If they don’t catch it every game, I don’t know. It basically happens every game. If I don’t get enough out pregame, it usually happens at halftime. If I don’t get enough at halftime, it usually happens in the third or fourth quarter.”
Despite this incident, Allen has been making positive headlines off the field as well. He and his wife, Hailee Steinfeld, recently announced that they are expecting their first child together. The couple shared the news through a heartfelt video posted on social media, where Allen could be seen kissing Steinfeld’s belly, indicating their joy and excitement about the upcoming addition to their family.
