Josh Allen's influence within Bills (Getty Images)Some stories are never anyone's to break except the family's. Josh Allen made that painfully clear on Saturday, hours after the world learned that Bills teammate Ed Oliver had lost his 2-year-old son to a drowning accident back in June, a tragedy the family had been quietly grieving away from cameras until it came out in public and now has become a topic of discussion for everyone.Josh Allen isn't holding back on the reporter who broke Ed Oliver's darkest newsThe Bills beat the Browns 31-7 that night, but nobody in the building was thinking about the scoreline. Allen, visibly shaken from this heartbreaking news, didn't dodge the subject when reporters brought it up."First off, I want to say thank you to the ones that knew about it and allowed him to have his moment and his time. It's very sad in how it came out," he said. "It makes me very sad and angry at the same time."Read between the lines, and it's obvious who Allen was really addressing: not only Oliver, but whoever decided a grieving father's private tragedy was suddenly public property.He kept going, choosing his words carefully but not softening them. "Obviously, very unfortunate what happened and as a teammate of him, as someone in this locker room, all we can do is love on him. There's nothing that you can say to make the situation any better except being there in whatever ways he needs. That's what teammates do. You love up on each other when we're down, and I can't imagine what he's going through."Bills star Josh Allen slams reporter's 'unfortunate' leak of teammate's tragedyThe team had known for weeks. Teammates had known. Everyone close to Oliver made the same quiet choice: let him hold onto his privacy a little longer, and let him decide when or if the world found out.Oliver's son, also named Ed and just shy of his second birthday, was found unresponsive in the swimming pool at the family's Houston-area home on June 28. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead later that evening. In the weeks since, Oliver has kept showing up to training camp, doing the unthinkable while trying to look normal in front of cameras that had no idea what he was carrying. His teammates knew the entire time and said nothing, because sometimes silence really is the kindest thing you can give someone.Strip away the football talk, and Allen's message was simple: some news isn't yours to break. It belongs to the person living it. For a locker room that's spent the last several weeks quietly protecting one of their own, that's a boundary they clearly don't take lightly, and neither, now, does the rest of the league.
