Richard Sherman: Josh Allen needed an IV, was shivering in a hot tub before TNF
On Thursday, Josh Allen led the Buffalo Bills to a 41-31 victory over the Detroit Lions at Highmark Stadium, completing 20 of 31 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 69 yards and two more scores.
The Detroit Lions entered the game severely shorthanded, missing seven players including starters Blake Miller and Christian Mahogany, both injured during their Week 1 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver was ruled out after suffering a hip injury during pre-game workouts, a decision NFL Insider Ari Meirov confirmed on Twitter before the contest.
Amazon Prime analyst Richard Sherman claimed Allen battled illness, shivering in a hot tub and receiving IVs, though Allen did not confirm the report, responding that he was "just trying to do my job."
Sherman noted Allen became the first player in NFL history with five touchdown passes and four rushing touchdowns in the first two games of the season, propelling the Bills to an undefeated 2-0 record.
