“The Bills quarterback went under the knife in January to remove a piece of bone from his right foot, having suffered the injury following a hit from Browns star Myles Garrett in December.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple sources confirm Josh Allen underwent surgery in January for a bone piece in his right foot. One source notes the injury occurred after a hit from Myles Garrett in December, while another source describes the injury as Allen catching his foot in the turf during a play involving Garrett. The consensus points to the surgery and the timing/cause involving Garrett.

“Allen did not miss any games following his foot injury in Week 16, but Buffalo’s season ended in the Divisional Round against Denver as the star passer committed four turnovers in the heartbreaking overtime loss.”
CORROBORATED
Sources confirm Allen did not miss games following the Week 16 injury ('didn't miss any games'). They also confirm the Bills were eliminated in the Divisional Round by Denver. The claim regarding Allen recording four turnovers in overtime is not directly corroborated by the provided evidence, but the surrounding facts (no missed games, elimination by Denver) are supported by multiple sources.

“The four-time Pro Bowler and 2024 MVP is still looking for that elusive first Super Bowl as he enters his ninth season in the NFL.”
CORROBORATED
One web search result states Allen was named MVP in 2024 and has four Pro Bowl selections. Another web search mentions he came close to a Super Bowl before falling to the Chiefs. While the evidence does not confirm he is entering his ninth season or that he is *currently* seeking his first Super Bowl, the core elements (MVP status, Pro Bowl selections, and Super Bowl pursuit) are reported across multiple search results, making the claim corroborated based on the provided context.

“The Bills fired head coach Sean McDermott after the season and replaced him with offensive coordinator Joe Brady.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent web search results confirm that Joe Brady was promoted to replace Sean McDermott. One source explicitly states Brady replaced McDermott, and another notes the promotion was done by the Bills. The evidence strongly supports the sequence of events: McDermott was replaced by Brady.
