In the game of the year (at least so far) between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs, it was always going to come down to the quarterbacks. And while both Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes threw costly interceptions, it was Allen who made the big play when it counted most, setting off a celebration in western New York.

He’s already a regional icon who is one of, if not the, most beloved figure in Western New York sports history, and if the head coach of the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres has his way, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen could soon cement his his legendary local status by donning the uniform of the city’s other professional sports team.
