In the buildup to one of the most anticipated playoff games of the season, NFL legend Tom Brady offered a surprisingly heartfelt endorsement of the Buffalo Bills and quarterback Josh Allen.
With the Bills preparing to face the Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional Round, Brady‘s comments reflect both admiration for Allen‘s growth and excitement for a franchise chasing its first trip to the Super Bowl in decades.

Brady, who needs no introduction as one of the greatest quarterbacks in league history, broke down Allen‘s opportunity with clarity. He painted this matchup as a careerdefining moment for the Bills’ signalcaller, especially in the absence of perennial rival Patrick Mahomes, often seen as Buffalo’s biggest playoff hurdle in recent years.
According to Brady, Allen is undeniably one of the best quarterbacks in the AFC, and this game represents a chance for him to solidify his legacy. The former New England Patriot recognized Allen‘s MVP credentials and emphasized that the Bills have a real shot at making a deep postseason push.
“When you’re a veteran quarterback and you’re not dealing with Mahomes anymore… Josh is one of the best quarterbacks in the AFC,” Brady said, underscoring both Allen‘s elite talent and growing stature.
Bills, Broncos, and a shot at glory
Allen and the Bills head into Denver with momentum from a thrilling 27-24 road victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, the franchise’s first road playoff win since 1992, in the Wild Card round.
Allen‘s performance in that game was a testament to his dualthreat ability and leadership, rallying teammates with an emotional “I love you all, I got you” before the final drives.
Despite Buffalo’s triumph, the challenges ahead are significant. The Broncos boast a formidable defense, and the Mile High altitude adds another layer of difficulty. Allen himself acknowledged the physical test ahead and warned that Denver’s front line will present problems for the Bills’ offense.
Yet Brady‘s comments strike a hopeful note, especially for the passionate Bills Mafia fanbase that has endured heartbreaks and nearmisses over the years.
He pointed to the emotional narrative surrounding Buffalo’s season and how incredible it would be for this devoted community to finally “get over the hump” and reach the AFC Championship.
While the Broncos remain a tough opponent, Brady‘s praise for Allen captures how far the Bills’ franchise has come. Whether Buffalo can seize its moment and make a championship run now falls to performance on the field, but with voices like Brady‘s rooting for them, the buzz around this team has never been stronger.
