Josh Allen is sharing his favorite meal on his selective cheat days.

The Buffalo Bills will be starting their 2025-26 season tomorrow against the Baltimore Ravens at 8:20 ET on NBC, but before they start the season, Bills quarterback is letting fans in on how he prepares before and after game day.

“When fueling up before a game, I don’t eat anything,” Allen told PEOPLE. “When it’s a day game, I typically don’t eat before. If it’s a late game, I’ll throw in a little buttered pasta.”

As for what's on his playlist to gear up for a game? Allen prefers to keep it classy with the iconic "That’s Life” by Frank Sinatra.

“That gets me ready to go,” he said.

When it comes to leaving the field, win. or lose, Allen shared that he loves spending time with others. 

“Getting home, being with my family and friends, being with my wife,” the 2024 NFL MVP said in reference to his wife, Hailee Steinfeld, whom he married in May.

Now, as for the cheat day meal, Allen keeps it iconic with wings and a cold Pepsi, noting that  Cherry Pepsi is his favorite variation.

“It’s a combination that will stand the test of time,” Allen declared. When asked where he stands on the ranch versus blue cheese wing dip debate, “There’s no doubt in my mind that it’s blue cheese,” he said.

Pepsi has a special drink for Allen and reminds him of his football journey, so his partnering up with the iconic beverage company aligns well. In the commercial, Allen is joined by NFL icon Justin Jefferson as they crash fans' tailgate parties with Pepsi cans. Take a look at the spot below:
