Josh Allen was one of the four NFL QBs taking part in the golf exhibition game ‘The Match’ on June 1. While playing, a shot by the Buffalo Bills star went off target and curiously hit a fan straight on the head. They played the video on the Pat McAfee Show. While the hosts of the show reacted hilariously to the video, the reaction from the fan divided them.

Pat McAfee said, “That guy’s smiling after getting point in the head with a f-cking golf ball from a 160 yards away, 170 yards away, that would hurt so bad.” They agreed the ball had come at a top speed, given the noise it made on impact.

Some feel that the fan overreacted to the whole thing
According to co-host Tone Digz, the man clearly overreacted like it was a fatal shot. He said that the man acted like “he got shrapnel through his jugular… Now the second time I watch it, I think he may have just smacked his arm.”

The guy was probably “staring into the sun” as everyone looked up to see the ball, Tone said. His reaction was also uncertain. He wasn’t sure whether the ball hit him on the neck or the head.
