Allen originally posted a gif on social media expressing his unhappiness over the game, in which the Broncos won 20-13.
A Harris fan account reposted Allen’s tweet with the caption, “Somebody’s mad,” and tagged Allen in it. Allen’s response to that was creative, to say the least.
“Now, y’all know damn well that boy can’t hold my jock strap. Stop it,” Allen posted.

Allen confirmed those comments to reporters in the locker room Thursday.
“Go watch the tape, man,” Allen told reporters. “It’s not a secret.”
Allen had a season-low four catches for 18 yards on six targets Sunday. It also was the first time the Chargers didn’t score an offensive touchdown this season.
“I guess it was a tough day … for the offense,” Allen said when asked about the team’s struggles. “…Turnovers in the red zone a couple times, couldn’t get it done. It was turnovers. It was self-inflicting wounds.”
It’s not the first time Allen criticized Harris — in December 2018, he downplayed the Broncos’ 23-22 win over the Chargers.
“No, I don’t think they played well at all,” Allen said after the 2018 loss, via ESPN. “We dominated the game. Turnovers. We gave them some points and that’s what happened. They suck.”
