The Buffalo Bills officially introduced new head coach Joe Brady on Thursday during the introductory press conference.
However, it was Bills quarterback Josh Allen who drew plenty of attention. Less than three weeks after the crushing divisional round loss, Allen walked into the press conference on crutches and with a boot on his right foot.

Allen gave everything he had, but came up short in the Bills’ 33-30 loss to the Denver Broncos in the Divisional Round at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colo.
During the press conference, Allen said he had a procedure to fix a broken bone, but added that he would be playing if the Bills were in the Super Bowl.
Bills QB Josh Allen said that he broke bone in foot — fifth metatarsal — and that is what he had cleaned up on Monday morning in Birmingham, per Brandon Beane. He said it was an older injury that re-aggravated vs. the Browns

Bills GM Brandon Beane had said previously that Josh Allen would undergo surgery, although he didn’t give a timeline as to when the procedure would be.
Nonetheless, it shows the toughness of Allen, and despite being far less than 100%, he gave it his all until the very end of the playoff run.
