Josh Allen may be the reigning MVP, but after Sunday's win over the Jets, his new look had teammates calling him something else entirely: Joey Bosa.

The Bills quarterback broke his nose in the first quarter of Buffalo's 30-10 victory, and the aftermath quickly went viral. As blood poured down Allen's face, trainers snapped his nose back into place on the sideline. The quarterback missed only two plays before returning to finish the game, because of course he did.
"It's definitely bigger. He looks like Joey Bosa now," offensive tackle Spencer Brown said afterward, delivering the quote of the week. Teammates joked that Allen resembled Bosa's long-lost cousin. One even joked Bosa might be the NFL's accidental "Adrien Brody" after Allen's busted-up nose gave the defensive end some new competition in the facial features department.
Allen himself wasn't shaken. He explained the play that left him bloodied.

"Pulled it when I probably should have handed it off," Allen said. "I tried to throw it, saw him push, decided to tuck it. I don't know what hit me — knee, hand, helmet — right on the bridge of my nose and it just started leaking."
He exited briefly, but backup Mitch Trubisky came in cold and kept a drive alive with a clutch throw. Allen made sure to praise his teammate, calling it "a true embodiment of the character and the man that he is."
With James Cook and the Bills' defense doing their part, Buffalo cruised. But it was Allen's willingness to take a shot to the face and keep going that stole the headlines.
Broken nose or not, the quarterback gave Bills fans another reason to call him the ultimate football guy.
