Josh Allen has not taken offense to Tom Brady using an offensive term when describing his play in recent years. It’s claimed the Buffalo Bills star is aware no offense was intended by the legendary quarterback.
While calling the Bills’ dominant win over the Seattle Seahawks, Brady was discussing Allen’s improvements over the past few years, most notably in his decision-making. He was full of praise for Allen’s game in recent years, but shockingly used the term spazz on live television when touching on his play when he first entered the league.
Referring to Allen, he said, “Sometimes he plays like a spazz, like a grade-schooler on a sugar high.” The remark shocked NFL fan, with reports emerging that Brady did not know the term – considered an ableist slur – is an overly offensive one.

The Daily Mail also claims that Allen was unbothered by Brady’s words on commentary. A source close to Allen said: “Josh knows about the comment and is not bothered by it at all. He’s good with Tom and they are not in a negative place with each other. Josh would shake Tom’s hand right now if they were in the same room. It is all good.”
Allen and Brady have a good relationship after playing against each other on multiple occasions, while playing in a charity golf game a few years back along with Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes.
