Podcaster Accuses Ravens' Roquan Smith of Intentional Excessive Contact on Josh Allen

Podcaster Accuses Ravens' Roquan Smith of Intentional Excessive Contact on Josh Allen
World Sports · 19:39:45 - Tuesday, 3 November 2026

A podcaster has sharply criticized Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith for what he describes as intentional excessive contact against Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. The commentator alleges that Smith's actions were deliberate and points to a previous incident involving quarterback Tyler Shough as evidence of a pattern.

The criticism centers on a specific play where Smith made contact with Allen that the podcaster believes went beyond normal football physicality. While the source does not detail the exact game or date of the incident, the accusation suggests a recurring concern about Smith's approach to hitting quarterbacks.

Neither the Ravens organization nor Smith has publicly responded to the allegations. The NFL typically reviews such plays for potential fines or disciplinary action if they violate rules protecting quarterbacks.
