The Buffalo Bills are on a winning streak, and it feels great. They’re a perfect 3-0 heading into their fourth week of the season. With MVP-winning quarterback Josh Allen leading the charge, the Bills are always a high-profile team. But right now, they’re even more in the spotlight, as not many other NFL teams are enjoying this kind of success.

Following the Bills’ decisive win over the Miami Dolphins, several players have been making media appearances to discuss the state of the team. On Monday, September 22, Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir spoke with Kay Adams on *Up & Adams* about the recent win, what makes Buffalo special this season, Allen, and all things NFL.

During the conversation, the topic shifted to some gossip about Josh Allen — gossip that Shakir quickly debunked. The moral of the story? Don’t believe everything you hear.

### Josh Allen Didn’t Take the Team on a Luxury Vacation

If you heard rumors about Allen taking his teammates on a lavish trip, those claims aren’t true.

The chatter started on Monday, September 19, when MLFootball tweeted that Allen was a class act for taking the entire team on a two-day trip to Costa Rica, supposedly at his own expense, according to Damar Hamlin. Reports said the trip cost at least a couple hundred thousand dollars.

NFL insider Dov Kleiman also chimed in on X (formerly Twitter), calling Allen a “role model” for taking the whole team on the Costa Rica trip, covering flights, food, and more, with an estimated cost of over $100,000.

While the idea of Allen treating his team to such a vacation is a nice thought and sparked plenty of positive reactions online, it turns out that the trip never actually happened.

### Khalil Shakir Sets the Record Straight

Speaking on *Up & Adams*, Shakir addressed the rumors directly. “Josh did not take 53 men for $100k,” he said. “I don’t know where you guys think they were staying — in a tent somewhere — for $100k for 53 men. That did not happen.”

### The Buffalo Bills Do Bond, Though

Although the Costa Rica trip story isn’t true, the Bills do have strong team chemistry and often find ways to bond outside of the game. Their success on the field this season reflects that unity and dedication.

As the Bills continue their impressive start to the year, fans can look forward to more exciting football — and hopefully, some real stories about the team’s camaraderie along the way.
