Thanks for the submission!
The visit by the two MLB stars and their partners comes as Josh Allen and the Bills gear up to face the New York Jets in what could be the last game ever played in the current Highmark Stadium. There’s no confirmation yet on whether the group will be in attendance on Sunday evening.

The photo immediately commanded significant attention, generating a lot of reactions from fans. Aside from their resemblance, especially with Paul Skenes’ new look, many compared the careers of the two in their respective sports. Here’s a look at some of the reactions online:
Rob Gronkowski expresses no fear of Josh Allen in the playoffs
The Buffalo Bills are unquestionably a dangerous playoff opponent with Josh Allen under center. Yet Rob Gronkowski surprisingly labeled them the easiest matchup for the New England Patriots among potential postseason foes when pressed about it on the “Up & Adam” show.
“Josh Allen is the scariest part of the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen will always be scary as a player, no matter what, until he’s not scary anymore,” Gronkowski said. “But it’s the team of the Buffalo Bills. You can run on them. They don’t really have the weapons for Josh Allen to pass to.
“If you can contain Josh Allen and not let him get out of the pocket, not let him run, not let him do his heroic stunts out there, where all of a sudden you’re like, ‘Wow, how do you do that?’ And then they’re back in the game. If you can just not let Josh Allen do what he does, you have a spot on him.”
Allen has shredded the Patriots’ defense in their two meetings this season, going 41-of-59 for 446 yards, five touchdowns, and just one interception, while taking three sacks. The two meetings, however, ended with each team securing a road victory.
