  "account": "Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has shared his support for transitioning NFL games to grass instead of artificial turf. Speaking after Tuesday's practice, Allen expressed his belief that grass is better for players' health. He noted that practicing on artificial turf leaves him feeling the effects the following day, whereas playing on grass leaves him feeling great. Allen also recounted experiencing burns on his legs from artificial turf, which kept him up at night. He expressed a desire to have every field be grass if he could instantly change it. The Bills will conclude their preseason with a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, before opening their 2026 regular season against the Houston Texans on September 13 at Houston's Reliant Stadium, which has artificial turf.",
