Bills’ Joe Brady Walks Back Josh Allen Interception Quip as QB Targets OTAs After Foot Surgery

The newly promoted head coach says he aims to show whole-team leadership despite retaining offensive play-calling.

Overview

  • Brady told The Pat McAfee Show he "can’t wait" for a practice pick by Josh Allen so he could celebrate with the defense, a line he later called a mistake.
  • On the Fitz & Whit podcast, Brady said he regretted the phrasing and acknowledged Allen throwing an interception would still frustrate him.
  • Brady was elevated from offensive coordinator to head coach after Sean McDermott’s firing and confirmed he will continue calling offensive plays.
  • Allen underwent surgery in Birmingham, Alabama, for a broken fifth metatarsal and has been seen on crutches with a walking boot.
  • Allen said the procedure should not hinder his timeline, expects to be back for Organized Team Activities, and will miss the Pro Bowl.
