Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen took a beating against the Houston Texans on Nov. 20, and the 2024 MVP’s frustration showed all the more in a heated sideline exchange with backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky.

The Amazon Prime broadcast captured the moment during the Bills’ 23–19 loss to the Texans (6–5) late in the game, as Allen clearly said “What are we doing?” to Trubisky, before the moment went viral on social media. It came on the heels of Bills running back James Cook II coming up short on a fourth-and-one run in Texans territory.
