Bills' Joe Brady Walks Back Josh Allen Interception Comment

His early messaging aims to signal leadership of the whole roster despite retaining play-calling duties.

Overview

  • Joe Brady said on the Fitz & Whit podcast that he regretted saying he could not wait to celebrate a Josh Allen interception in practice.
  • He originally made the remark on The Pat McAfee Show to underscore that he views himself as the head coach of the entire team, not an offense-first coach.
  • Former Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick challenged the comment on air, and Brady acknowledged it would actually anger him if his quarterback threw a pick.
  • Brady, 36, was promoted after Sean McDermott’s firing and confirmed he will continue to call offensive plays as head coach.
  • Josh Allen underwent surgery in Birmingham to repair a broken fifth metatarsal, said the procedure was not major, expects to be ready for OTAs, and is set to miss the Pro Bowl after playing through the injury since Week 16.
