Ex-NFL Star Suggests Buffalo Bills Quarterback Take Viagra to Stay Warm During Playoffs, Should Keep the Sacks Low Too

It’s only been a week, but alternative uses for Viagra are already back in the news. The Buffalo Bills are set to play their Wild Card game later today at Highmark Stadium, their notoriously cold and windy home field. Suffice to say, it’s going to be freezing. Bills quarterback Josh Allen has a track record of shrinking in cold weather, arguing that he has poor circulation and his toes get cold.

According to former NFL linebacker & ESPN Radio personality Bart Scott, however, there might be a cure – A nice little dose of Viagra. On a recent episode of Get Up!, Scott, without a sense of irony, suggested that a lot of NFL players back in his day would take Viagra before freezing games to open up blood vessels and help with circulation… to their feet. Sure, Bart.

At the very least, the Viagra should help Allen to keep the sacks down at this weekend’s game. Scott noted, “A lot of endurance athletes (take it too) because Viagra was first a heart medicine, so it builds up circulation, which makes sure it gets that circulation to the feet. I swear I’m not trying to be funny.” Scott may not be trying to make a joke, but there’s something endlessly funny about players in the most masculine sport ever taking viagra to improve their performance.

Nevertheless, this type of “performance-enhancing” isn’t necessarily a new concept, on the field or in the bedroom. Back in 2020 former wide receiver, Chad Johnson, said that he took viagra to increase blood flow and better his game. Interestingly, Johnson also admitted that this also allowed him to get around the NFL’s drug testing for steroids. Nothing to see here.
