Josh Allenis calling into questionAaron Rodgers’ latest sports triumph.
In an appearance on thePardon My Takepodcast, the Buffalo Bills quarterback shared that the new New York Jets QB “sandbagged” his fellow golfers while participating in — and eventually winning — the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am earlier this year.
“He did,” Allen, 27, said after he was asked if Rodgers cheated at the February tournament. “I love Aaron, but he did.”
The Bills star added that Rodgers, 39, played with a handicap of 10 instead of his normal handicap, which is 3, according toGolf Digest.
“He may have gotten seven or eight strokes too many at Pebble Beach, or nine,” Allen said, before hedging that statement with a laugh: “That’s from what other sources are saying, I’m not saying that.”
Allen and his PGA partner, Keith Mitchell, ended up third at the tournament. Rodgers, who played alongside Ben Silverman from the Korn Ferry Tour, won the pro-am, finishing at -26.
At the time, Allen was quick to congratulate his now-AFC East rival on the win, despite believing weather also played a role in his own defeat,according toThe Buffalo News.

Allen told PEOPLE at the time that his focus was on the upcoming football season, and that his preparation was “going really well.”
“OTAs [the NFL’s early season practices] were great, getting the chance to throw some of the guys,” he said. But, he added, “We got a long road ahead of us. It’s a long season and just try to take it one day at a time.”
