BUFFALO, N.Y. — For one woman who never lived here, it was a cool experience in Seattle. She got to meet the mother of Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
Jocelyn Boultbee lives in Vancouver, Canada. Her husband is from Toronto, and that's why he became a Bills fan.
They traveled from Vancouver to Seattle for last weekend's Bills game.
Afterward, they were in a restaurant and saw a woman signing a Josh Allen jersey for a fan. It turned out to be Josh Allen's mom.
"It's maybe like four to six women all dressed up in Bills gear. They're wearing Josh Allen apparel. And I'm like, 'Oh, this is so cute.' It's like a bunch of ladies who have come down for the game. They all love Josh Allen," Boultbee said. "And then I see somebody walk up to this woman, and she gets her to sign her Josh Allen jersey. And I'm like, 'Why is this woman signing this Josh Allen jersey?' Like, I'm just confused here.
"And then we see that she has signed the back of the jersey, 'Mama Allen.' So then I just go on my phone and I Google, like, who is Mama Allen? Like, is she just some, really popular Bills fan or something? And then lo and behold, it is Josh Allen's mom, I'm like, 'Oh my gosh. Like, that's, that's her! I can't believe Josh Allen's mom is here, and his sister.' "
It was a chance meeting and one Jocelyn won't forget.
She and her husband want to come to Buffalo to experience Bills Mafia at home in the stadium before the new stadium is built.
