Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen will have supporters in the stands when he and his team take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship on Sunday, but his father will noticeably be absent.

Joel Allen will not be at Arrowhead Stadium. The Bills quarterback’s father is recovering from a battle with pneumonia, which kept him in the hospital this month, the Los Angeles Times revealed in a profile about Josh Allen on Saturday.

Allen has a ton of family back in the small California town of Firebaugh, located 38 miles west of Fresno. Allen’s mother LaVonne and uncle Todd Allen will be among the contingent of family going to support the Wyoming product.

"No one works harder at his craft than Josh does," Todd Allen told the Los Angeles Times. "I don’t care what it is -- baseball, basketball, football, and he was a swimmer in the summers too. I just can’t say enough about him."
