Overview

• During a Buffalo Bills game, quarterback Josh Allen made an audible call that is now the subject of debate, with speculation about whether he yelled 'Taylor Swift' or 'J.R. Smith'.
• High-profile NFL social media accounts speculated that Allen cried out 'Taylor Swift' during the first quarter, while other analysts suggest that a closer listen may reveal the audible was 'J.R. Smith'.
• The ambiguity is intriguing due to Allen's known history of using NBA players' names in his calls. Moreover, Allen called a 'LeBron James' audible later in the same game.
• If the call was indeed 'J.R. Smith', some fans joked that it might have been a strategy to run out time, referencing Smith's famous miscalculation in Game 1 of the 2018 NBA Finals.
• Regardless of the audible, the Bills successfully gamified with this 'Smith/Swift' play, resulting in a five-yard completion. However, the Bills failed to gain a first down on this particular possession, and they ended it with a field goal.
