It's a good thing Josh Allen's wedding happened already.

The Buffalo Bills' MVP quarterback took a shot to the face in the first quarter on Sunday against the New York Jets.

Allen immediately ran off the field and was tended to by trainers.

Turns out, his nose was bleeding.

Why does Josh Allen have gauze stuffed in his nose?

Allen appeared to have gotten his nose wacked by a Jets defender during a tackle as a hand got into his helmet.

The nose of the MVP clearly began bleeding, and he was getting it tended to with a ton of gauze on the sideline.

The game went to the quarter break, and when the second quarter was back, Allen was on the field.

He had a big chunk of gauze stuffed into his left nostril.

The Bills had to settle for a field goal on that drive, but they'll take it after what momentarily could've been much worse.
