Inside the Bills: A unique view on what makes Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes similar – and different
‘“I think it’s pretty cool,” Allen said of the friendship he’s formed with Mahomes. “Everyone knows we golf a little bit together and he still owes me something for that Wyoming-Texas Tech game, so we’ll figure that out soon.
