Josh Allen started this year with a bang. In the first 10 weeks, he had 9 wins with 1 loss, and the entire Bills mafia was jumping with joy. He then got engaged to his Hollywood girlfriend Hailee Steinfeld before coming back and entering the playoffs. Everyone eagerly waited for their divisional game against the Ravens. But the NFL gave them jolts after reviewing their wildcard game against the Broncos.

The league is pretty hard on any plays where teams violate any rules and regulations. And they fined 17 out of a total of 901 plays (1.89%) in wildcard games in 2025. Bills received the harshest punishment, with 5 fines of more than $38k. Two of the 5 fines were given to the WR Mack Hollins only. Here’s the detailed report of Josh Allen’s team.

At the 2-minute mark in the 2nd quarter, Mack Hollins and the snapper Reid Ferguson taunted the rival after clearing the ball. Subsequently, the NFL fined Hollins $6,736 and Ferguson $11,255 for the unsportsmanlike conduct (taunting). But Hollins was running high on emotions. He again made the same violation at the 6:05 mark in the 4th quarter, for which even the referees penalized them 15 yards. The league later fined him $11,255.

Josh Allen & co. also used brute force to win against the Broncos. CB Taron Johnson tackled the Broncos RB Javonte Williams at the 6:30 mark in the first quarter but injured himself. But he was fined $14,305 under the unnecessary roughness (use of the helmet) rule. It was the same story with safety Damar Hamlin, who intercepted Bo Nix’s pass to the WR Courtland Sutton at 3:24 in the 4th quarter. NFL fined him $6,083 for the unsportsmanlike conduct (removal of the helmet).

For the quarterback, his sole aim now is to win the divisional game against the Ravens and secure a trip to Arrowhead. Patrick Mahomes would be keen to welcome the winner. It’s exciting.

Lamar Jackson fires shots at Josh Allen before the divisional game

Only one thread ties the Bills and Ravens QBs together. The same draft class! Apart from that, they have nothing in common. Before their adrenaline-pumping clash, Lamar Jackson threw shade at Josh Allen and said, “We’re competing against each other. I am trying to beat you, not to be your friend.” He declined any problem but did acknowledge the competition.

The remaining 2 games in the AFC will divide the country. Lamar Jackson is Drake’s favorite NFL player. He made more than half a million dollars that could go up in millions on Sunday, January 19. From Josh Allen‘s side, Hailee Steinfeld will be cheering him up. Currently, they have a 2-2 win-loss playoff record in head-to-head games. Whoever wins the game will be up against the Chiefs.

Another player who gives an edge to the Ravens is their MVP, Derrick Henry. The RB joined hands with the QB to take them to a win against the Steelers with 2 TDs each. The flock is expecting the same dominance while the Bills mafia wants a tough show.
