While Josh Allen had his jersey retired in November, someone else was celebrating along with him. WyoSports reports 10-year-old Francine Smith has been cancer free for two years. When she told her dad, Douglas, that she wanted to meet Allen, he contacted University of Wyoming Athletics. But it wasn’t until a week before the game that they learned Allen had requested Francine be part of his jersey retirement ceremony. She joined him on field after his speech and was gifted a hug and a signed Bills jersey. Francine also asked if he knew the 6-7 gesture, which he demonstrated with her on the field.
