Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills saw their season come to an end on Sunday night. It was a heartbreaking loss, but a loss nonetheless. Late in the game, what could have been a play that went down in history ended up turning into a major disappointment.

In 2024 they made a similar move. $14,875,000 of Allen’s pay was converted into bonuses, bringing his salary down to $1,125,000. This restructure netted him a total of $60 million cash for the season while freeing up $16,700,000 in cap space.

Line Judge Jeff Seeman and Down Judge Patrick Holt had different spots and lines of sight, the one with a better potential view of the ball (Seeman) indicated Allen got the first down, but he then deferred to the one who couldn’t have seen it and called it short (Holt).
