Bills QB Josh Allen's 'Mangia' call is an Orchard Park special - ESPN

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Driving in the second quarter and looking to extend their 13-0 lead over the New York Jets last week, the Buffalo Bills offense prepared to snap the football.

As quarterback Josh Allen stood in shotgun and assessed the defense, wide receiver Joshua Palmer briefly went in motion. Allen called an audible.

«Hey, mangia, mangia, mangia, mangia,» Allen yelled as he raised his hands in a pinched finger gesture. After the call, some players called out, «No. 56,» identifying Jets linebacker Quincy Williams.

The play resulted in a first down on a seven-yard pass from Allen to wide receiver Keon Coleman.

Fran Ricotta anticipated that mangia might come up during a Bills game. The owner of Mangia Ristorante & Caffe' in Orchard Park, along with her husband John, had heard from her staff in the past couple of months that one of the Bills' plays was called mangia.

«We weren't sure if we were ever going to hear that, so when we were watching it on Sunday and clearly heard it in the shoutout, it was pretty exciting,» Fran Ricotta told ESPN. «The texts were coming in from staff. I think they were more excited about it than anything. It was so cool of Josh though.»
