Josh Allen, Pat McAfee have awkward ‘we’re live’ moment before ‘MNF’
Josh Allen approached Pat McAfee on the field before the Bills’ Monday Night Football game against the Vikings, but McAfee repeatedly warned him, “We’re live!” Allen then walked away after McAfee wished him luck. The awkward exchange drew criticism from some fans, while others said McAfee was making sure Allen knew his microphone was on.
The Bills won 23-6, improving to 7-1, while the Vikings fell to 6-2. ESPN is taking McAfee’s show to six NFL games this season as part of an alternative broadcast, its first on-site expansion since the show began at the network in 2022. Allen threw for 234 yards, one touchdown and one interception; James Cook III also scored.
In short
- McAfee repeatedly told Allen they were live before the game.
- Fans disagreed over whether the warning was awkward or considerate.
- Buffalo beat Minnesota 23-6 to reach 7-1.
