Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen said he doesn’t want the game ball from his historic performance against the San Francisco 49ers.

Allen became the first player to throw, rush for, and catch a touchdown in the same game. After rushing for a touchdown in the fourth quarter, Allen handed the ball to 12-year-old Malachi Weems, who had flown from Oregon to attend the game in New York. Malachi offered to give Allen the ball back, but Allen thinks game balls mean more to the fans.
