Crazy how it started two years ago, but how much have Bills fans played a role in the growth of the foundation?Allen: "The only reason it's been a thing and is continuing to be a thing is because of Bills fans. Obviously, going back a few years ago, my grandmother pa sed away. I didn't tell anybody and there were some fans that had found out. I still, to this day, don't know how they figured it out or found out. But people started donating $17 in honor of her memory, and I woke up the next day, got a text, and there was $4,000 to $5,000 raised to Oishei Children's Hospital."Man, I was overcome with joy. Fast forward, we're a couple years in and we raised a couple million dollars.

I got the 'Team 17' member logo on the back of the heel. I got a EKG heart monitor. I got a heart on there. On the inside, I got six signatures from kids that are at Oishei or were at Oishei."Again, it's something that's really cool and they came out spectacular. Joshua killed it. I'm so excited to rep them."The Bills have huge expectations for this year -- and Thursday's game is as big as it gets. What do you notice in preparing for a Bill Belichick defense that's different from other defenses you've faced? Allen: "They do such a good job at showing you different looks. They can show you a zone look and play man out of it. They can show you a man look and play zone out of it. There's so many different ways that they can cause you to be a step slower or a second slower, which can be a huge difference."I have to trust the base rules. Trust what my eyes are seeing. If it's going to be a man game, we got to win the one-on-one coverage. If it's going to be a zone game, it's going to be timing and accuracy and ball placement."This is an in-division game. These games are always tough, especially on the road. We just have to try and put our best foot forward and win a football game." I'm sure you're tired of hearing this by now. You're in a slump or mini-slump -- whatever the term is now. How does a player of your talent find a way out of it?Allen: Ender Inciarte Jersey "I just have to trust my teammates. Trust my eyes, make good decisions. All I try to do is to help this team win football games, no matter which way I do it. If I have to turn and hand the ball off 35 times a game or throw it 35 times a game. Whatever is asked for me to do is what I'm willing to do."Sometimes it may not always be pretty. I understand that. The main goal of this game, especially for me, is to win -- in any way we can." This is the first year the Bills are the favorites to win a Super Bowl. Normally, Buffalo is the underdog. How do you handle these renewed expectations every week?Allen: "Our expectations in our locker room are much higher than what anybody else has said or can say about us. We have a goal to win the Super Bowl. That's everyone's goal at the start of the year. Everything that we do inside and outside this building is to try to win a Super Bowl."We got some great leadership and leaders here. Our locker room Babe Ruth Jersey is fantastic. We got guys that care about each other, care about their jobs, and when you have a group that is collectively fighting for the same thing and they do things the right way -- typically you're going to have succe s." How would you evaluate your season so far?Allen: "We're sitting at 8-3, so everything that we want is still in front of us. Obviously there are plays I wish we had back in a couple key games. The ones that we lost have been by two points, two points and three points. So we're in every game. We just have to continue to find ways to win football games."We'll keep progre sing this season and find ways to play our best. That's the game going into the playoffs, but we'll take it one game at a time. Our main goal is to make it into the playoffs."Y
