Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has put in his best performance yet: Not on the field, but on our screens. The QB is destined for more TV work after a recent commercial aired displaying his many talents.
The Bills made it through their Wild Card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers thanks to the play of the team and Allen, but there are theories that other magic could be at play.
Josh Allen and Peppa Pig Commercial
Bills fans have already come up with a wild theory that feeding the pit is the reason for the Bills’ success. However, some think the real reason is Peppa Pig. Since a commercial aired starring Allen and Peppa, the Bills are 1-0.
The comical commercial aired to promote Paramount Plus in a series of commercials leading to the Super Bowl. Allen and Peppa are the stars and have gone viral on social media.
The commercial features the star NFL QB and Peppa Pig, as well as Transformers and Dora The Explorer. Commentators Jim Nantz, Tony Romo, and reporter Tracy Wolfson also star in the commercial, which has left fans stunned.
If there is one thing we have learned from the commercial, it is that Allen is ready for more TV. His exchanges with Decepticon Scourge from Transformers and Peppa Pig have had fans in hysterics.

The commercial opens with Allen telling Peppa to go long before throwing a football far away. It then cuts to Nantz and Romo in a makeshift booth carved into a mountainside when Nantz says, “Wow, Josh Allen, what a quarterback. He’s got a cannon for an arm.” Romo then comments, “Sure does partner.”
We then cut to a wide shot with Peppa, Allen, Decepticon, Wolfson, Dora, and Optimus Prime from left to right. Up in the mountain, we can also see the booth where Nantz and Romo are.
Decepticon drops from the sky, saying, “Pathetic humans. You think that is an arm cannon. I’ll show you an arm cannon.” His cannon fails to work as we cut to Wolfson, who is standing next to Dora, reporting to Nantz that his cannon is frozen solid.
Slide in Allen, who seems like he has been made for this moment. “You didn’t warm up?” Allen comments. It leads to an exchange between Decepticon and Optimus Prime, where it is stated, “You must always warm up.”
Allen’s moment continues. Standing next to Peppa, he starts rolling his arm with the pair demonstrating how to warm up.
Decepticon, getting increasingly frustrated, catches a hilariously sarcastic line from Peppa, “Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on?” Peppa and Allen are the stars of the commercial as the pig moves behind Allen for protection.
We are then back with Nantz, who adds to the comedy value by saying, “Wow, just folding under the pressure.”
In an angry state, Decepticon fires his cannon into the side of a mountain in the distance. Never the type of people to shy away from the camera, a referee enters the frame throwing a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Fans have gone wild for the amusing commercial on social media. One post said, “Josh Allen + Peppa Pig = greatness.”

The NFL on CBS account pointed out, “Josh Allen is the first QB to throw for 3 Pass TD and 0 INT in a playoff game after spending the preceding week with Peppa Pig since the merger.”
Another social media post throws a harsh curveball, “Is Peppa Pig the wide receiver Josh Allen has been missing all this time?”

In another commercial promoting Paramount+, Allen is being interviewed by Wolfson when she asks what it is like making his debut on Paramount Mountain.
“You know Tracy. I’m just following in the footsteps of greats. Optimus Prime, Peppa, Dora’s talking backpack,” Allen says while keeping his acting skills in check. “I’m surrounded by legends, Tracy.”
