Bills QB Josh Allen ‘Madden’ Skill Ripped by Ravens: ‘It’s Messed Up!’

The “Madden NFL 24” cover features Josh Allen, with the Buffalo Bills QB calling the honor “a childhood dream.”

And you already knew that.

But now “Madden” has dropped a teaser trailer for the newest edition of the video game … and it features Allen - and you probably already assumed that.

So what’s the problem? The trailer shows Allen as a runner … and it shows him victimizing a series of helpless members of the Baltimore Ravens defense.

“It's kinda messed up,” said the Ravens’ Marcus Williams. “I mean, Josh Allen is a good quarterback, but he's not just running people over like that …”

Actually, of course, Allen (at 6-5 and 240) does sometimes “run people over” in addition to all the other stuff the multi-talented athlete does. Fans of the Bulls have seen that in play time and time again … and fans of the Ravens are surely quite familiar with the phenomenon as well.

But that does not means the Ravens and Williams - who tried to set the record straight when asked about the video highlight on “Good Morning Football” - has to sit back and take it.

We can note that just as Williams doesn’t want to see Allen bulling his way through the defense as a runner via a video game, Allen’s bosses in Buffalo would also like him to be conscious of the injury risks involved in his style of running. So in a way, while the Ravens are not going to win the video game argument, folks in Buffalo see the point being made by folks in Baltimore.
