After breaking his nose during Week 2 against the New York Jets, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen sat down with Fox Sports' Mark Sanchez.

“It adds character," Allen said on Thursday, via the "Rearview" podcast. "It tells a story. So this is just another part of my story.”

Allen explained that it was a small chip on the bone, and that no surgery was needed.

“Mark, don’t lie to your listeners," Allen said. "We know you put makeup on for every other day things, too. Not just, ‘Oh, I’ve got to put on my makeup for TV.’ We get it. It’s OK.”

Allen also recalled their first meeting.

“I was sitting out at the Monarch Beach Club, and you see this guy, Rico Suave, coming out of the freaking ocean, putting his hair back, all the freaking moms and girls looking at Mark Sanchez coming out," Allen said. "It’s just like, ‘This freaking guy.’"

Allen jokingly added that the ex-Jets QB, "seven, eight years ago" used to be cool when he was in his prime years ago. However, now that he knows him better, the reigning NFL MVP doesn’t like him that much.

Sanchez played 10 seasons in the NFL, most notably with the New York Jets, and was drafted at No. 5 in 2009. He retired in 2019 and became a broadcaster for ESPN and Fox.

He married actress Perry Mattfeld in May 2023 in Oaxaca, Mexico.
