Just Hours Before Dolphins Clash, Josh Allen Moves Entire NFL – Not With a Throw, But With Special Gesture Honoring Late Young Cowboys Star

November 9, 2025

Miami, Florida – Right before the Buffalo Bills enter the big battle with the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium, Josh Allen has made the entire NFL silent. Not with the power of 70-yard throws, but with a small yet deeply human action. When appearing in the warm-up session, Allen’s left wrist drew attention with a white band with handwritten words: “FOR HIM 94.”

According to sources from the Bills team, this band is a tribute symbol dedicated to Marshawn Kneeland, the young defensive star of the Dallas Cowboys, who just passed away in the tragedy related to mental crisis. Allen, who is always famous for compassion and leadership spirit, is said to have handwritten those words himself before taking the field. That small but meaningful action quickly spread, making the entire NFL silent in emotion.

“Even if we are no longer on the same field, sharing actions will always connect us,” Allen shared. “I never played with Marshawn, but I understand clearly the pressure each player faces. In this world, sometimes just a question, a small action is enough to make someone feel they are not alone.” Allen’s words made the Bills Mafia community and the entire NFL choked up.

Before the game, many of Allen’s teammates – including James Cook and Von Miller – also wore white bands to respond to the captain’s message. Some Dolphins players even proactively shook hands with Allen before kickoff, showing deep respect. The image of both teams bowing their heads in silence for Kneeland before kickoff became the most beautiful moment of the NFL week, surpassing any score or victory.

At Hard Rock Stadium, the atmosphere quieted when Allen stepped onto the field, the white band still firmly on his wrist. Without needing a lightning throw, Josh Allen has reminded the entire football world that true strength lies not in muscles, but in compassion. In the night of brilliant lights in Miami, that action has turned an NFL game into a symbol of camaraderie, sharing and kindness – the values that make all of Bills Nation proud.

The legendary linebacker, star of the Las Vegas Raiders and Super Bowl champion, has sent shockwaves through Buccaneers Nation by expressing his desire to return to Tampa Bay after becoming a free agent Tampa Bay, Florida – November 8, 2025 After leaving Tampa Bay, a Super Bowl champion and former cornerstone of the Buccaneers’ defense has sent shockwaves through Buccaneers Nation with an emotional confession — he wants to come home. After years of glory with other teams, the veteran admits one thing has never changed: his heart still belongs to Tampa Bay. A first-round pick in 2012, the former Pro Bowl linebacker was once the embodiment of toughness, discipline, and relentless spirit in the Buccaneers’ iconic red and pewter. During his five seasons with Tampa Bay, he wasn’t just a reliable defender — he was the heartbeat of the defense, inspiring his teammates through calm leadership and an unbreakable will to win. Buccaneers Rumors: Former Pro Bowl Linebacker, DPOY Could Reunite with Tampa Bay After leaving the team in 2017, he went on to win two Super Bowls and was named Defensive Player of the Year, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest defenders of his generation. Yet despite all the titles and accolades, he says nowhere ever made him feel as at home as Tampa Bay. “I don’t need trophies. I don’t need money,” he said. “All I want is one more chance — to put that red jersey back on, walk out of the Raymond James Stadium tunnel, and hear the roar of the crowd. I miss the cannons, I miss the sunlight hitting the field, and the feeling of fighting for the pirate flag on my helmet. And if I have to give up everything to feel that again — I will.” Inside the Buccaneers locker room, his name is still spoken with reverence — a symbol of grit, heart, and pride. Antoine Winfield Jr., one of the team’s rising defensive stars, said: “He set the standard for all of us. When you watch his film, you understand what focus, sacrifice, and the heart of a true Buccaneer really mean.” Now, at 27, the veteran continues to train relentlessly every day, waiting for one call — just one — from Jason Licht’s office. One final chance to close his journey where it all began. For him, Tampa Bay has never just been a team.
