NFL fans are teeing off on a top ESPN analyst and accusing him of being paid by the Buffalo Bills to offer biased takes for quarterback Josh Allen.

The Bills fired head coach Sean McDermott after a heartbreaking 33-30 loss to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional Round. Though Josh Allen had 283 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and 66 rushing yards, he also had four costly turnovers (two picks, two fumbles) in the game.

Allen had one careless fumble in the waning seconds of the first half. This allowed Denver to add a late field goal from Wil Lutz, extending its lead to 10. If Allen hadn’t coughed the ball up here, Buffalo would have likely gone on to win in regulation:

Speaking on ESPN’s “Get Up” program, analyst Dan Orlovsky acknowledged that the fumble was a mistake on Allen’s end. However, Orlovsky tried to shift the blame to the offensive lineman for failing to recover the ball:

Fans called out Dan Orlovsky, with some even suggesting he’s paid by the Bills to deliver biased takes on Josh Allen.

“Yup,” one fan said.

“Yeah, you not wrong 😭,” wrote another.

“Generational PR,” a user commented.

“I can’t believe he’s apart of the voting committee when he’s basically a glorified fan,” said a fan.

“Money makes you disrespect yourself, poor Dan, he has lost his soul for a few bucks,” wrote a user.

“@danorlovsky7 this is so embarrassing man,” another said.

Allen’s 2025 regular season ended with 3,668 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, 10 interceptions, 579 rushing yards and 14 rushing scores, per Pro Football Reference.

Josh Allen Can’t Be Immune From Blame

There’s plenty of blame to go around in the Bills’ loss. The stingy defense gave up 33 points. But the reigning MVP also turned the ball over four times. Josh Allen, like the rest of his team, has to shoulder some of the blame.

Allen fumbled deep in Buffalo territory twice, giving the Broncos six free points off field goals. He had a careless fourth-quarter interception with a chance to take the lead. His last interception in overtime would be Allen’s last throw of 2025.

Yes, Buffalo’s defense could have made more stops. James Cook’s brutal first-half fumble in Denver territory hurt, too. But at the end of the day, you’ll almost never win a game when your QB turns the ball over four times.
