I have to think that if you’re a professional athlete, there’s nothing that would make you prouder than seeing your son rocking your jersey on the sidelines.
Of course, on the flip side, seeing him whip it off to take a picture with Josh Allen after the quarterback stuffed your team in a locker might make you return a couple of Christmas presents.

Allen and the Bills paid a visit to Minneapolis for a clash between a pair of 6-1 teams on Monday night, and things went very poorly for the home team.

The Vikings offense struggled to get anything going and fell to the Bills 23-6.
While most of the Vikings fanbase was twiddling their thumbs to see how the team navigates the trade deadline, one of long snapper Andrew DePaola’s sons took the opportunity to get a very cool photo with Allen.
But not before shedding his old man’s jersey to reveal a Buffalo Bills shirt.

Wow. I’m not a parent (I have a dog and free time), but I feel like I’d have some mixed emotions about this one.
On one hand, you hate to see your kid do an impromptu costume change like he’s performing a one-man show before taking a photo with a guy who just metaphorically pantsed your team.
On the other hand, you’ve got to be proud of the premeditated aspect of wearing the Bills shirt under the jersey.
That young man is prepared for all eventualities. You never know how the game will shake out.

Will Allen storm to the bus if there’s a crushing defeat?
Will he hang around after a big win?
That’s why you wear the opposing team’s shirt under your dad’s jersey.
Just in case.
