Bills-Texans ref mistakenly said that Josh Allen fumbled the basketball in a hilarious gaffe

Let the record show that Josh Allen is a superstar NFL quarterback, as he plays football, not basketball, in the NBA. This is a pretty well-known fact for anyone who follows American sports, really.

But it was apparently lost on referee Clay Martin for a second during the Buffalo Bills’ matchup with the Houston Texans on Sunday.

As Allen ran out of bounds and seemingly fumbled the ball while getting tackled by a Houston defender, Martin clarified that Allen actually didn’t “fumble the basketball” before quickly correcting himself.

Uh, wrong sport, man. There’s no court anywhere in sight, either.

It happens, right?

Let’s not bury the lede here, though. Imagine Allen creating space for himself on a jumper in isolation. Don’t tell me you can’t see it. Martin might be onto something!
