Allen appeared visibly upset, pushing Wilkins away, and additional footage captures Allen expressing something to Wilkins as he jogged off the field.
The assessment of this play would need to come from the league office, as the most optimal camera angle does not conclusively depict Wilkins engaging with Allen in a s*xual manner.
The intent behind Wilkins’ actions cannot be accurately determined through mere speculation. Meanwhile, the playoff game between the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday night will exclusively be available on the NBC streaming service, Peacock.
On Sunday, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are set to clash with Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh Steelers in an AFC Wild Card showdown on CBS and Paramount+.
If the Bills successfully handle the Steelers at home and the Chiefs emerge victorious against the Dolphins, there is a possibility of encountering both teams in the later stages of the playoffs. Unpredictable scenarios have unfolded in the past.
