Josh Allen knows how to get the crowd going.

Allen, 29, made an epic appearance at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York, on Tuesday, April 21, for Game 2 of the Sabres' first-round playoff series against the Boston Bruins. The Bills quarterback kicked things off by beating the drum and impressively chugging a beer as fans went wild.

The NFL star, who just welcomed his first child with wife Hailee Steinfeld, could be seen shouting, "Let's go," as he hyped up the crowd.

Unfortunately for Allen and the Buffalo fans, the Sabres were defeated at home, 4-2, tying the series at one game each.

The Sabres, who won their first playoff game in 15 years at home on Sunday, April 19, will next take on the Bruins in Boston on Thursday, April 23.

Allen's beer of choice to chug at the game was a Corona, which caught the attention of the brand on social media. The official Corona Beer account commented on the Instagram clip of Allen: "Ready to run through a brick wall for @joshallenqb."
