Bills quarterback Josh Allen announced Wednesday that he’ll be the cover athlete for EA Sports’ Madden 24.
Allen referred to this moment as a “childhood dream come true.” The cover art for this year’s edition of the popular video game is stunning to say the least.
While NFL fans around the country can’t wait to play Madden 24, Bills Mafia is left wondering if their quarterback will be cursed by this accomplishment.
Desperately hoping that the Madden curse passes over this year https://t.co/EQ5NCzuNKo

Of course, there are Bills fans who are ecstatic that Allen is this year’s cover athlete.
We used to have Brian Moorman as our only player above an 85 rating in Madden.
Now our QB is on the damn cover. https://t.co/k2h2SVMDru

“Honestly, teenage me never thought a Buffalo Bills player would be on the cover of Madden,” another fan said. “Sometimes I have to think back to those days growing up as a fan and pinch myself knowing the Bills have a league superstar and a perennial playoff team.”

Last season, Allen had 4,283 passing yards and 35 touchdowns. We’ll see if he can take his game to another level this fall.
The Bills will kick off the 2023 season on the road against the Jets.
