Move over, Michael Jordan. There's a new Flu Game in town, and it apparently came in Buffalo thanks to Josh Allen.
After Allen threw for three touchdowns and 248 yards to go with 69 yards on the ground and two more scores in a 41-31 Buffalo Bills win over the Detroit Lions, Richard Sherman delivered quite the revelation on the Prime Video postgame show: "You were shivering in the hot tub before the game, you’re getting IVs, you don’t want to get admitted, but you were having a flu game of your own. How does it feel to accomplish that?”
There was no word about that before the contest, and Allen didn't deny it after what Sherman said. But Allen's answer was, as usual, professional: "I'm just trying to do my job."

It looked like he was chewing on a packet of smelling salts? Maybe he needed that to get his head focused while battling the flu?
