The Buffalo Bills are preparing for a quick turnaround, as they will host the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night in Buffalo. Should the Bills win, they will send the Dolphins to 0-3 with two division losses, which would all but eliminate them from winning the AFC East.

The Bills are 2-0, but did have a slight injury scare on Sunday against the New York Jets. Quarterback Josh Allen got hit in the nose, which caused instant bleeding. He came off the field for two plays to get it taken care of, and it was noticeably black and blue after the game. To ensure this doesn't happen again, Allen was seen at practice sporting a visor.

Allen has practiced with visors before, specifically during training camp, but has not played a game with one on. Several quarterbacks have resorted to using a visor in the past. Carson Palmer and Ben Roethlisberger wore visors after similar face injuries. Roethlisberger led the Steelers to Super Bowl XLV while donning a visor.

While Allen instantly gets cool points for the aesthetic, we'll see if he has to adjust to wearing one in-game.
