‘Allen’s first impressive play came on a third-and-13, firing a 15-yard strike to Gabriel Davis for a first down and extending the drive. The Bills faced a third-and-7 three plays later, as Allen avoided pressure from Jadeveon Clowney and maneuvered his way toward a first down and extended the drive.’

‘I think we need to start here, because it’s important: The Bills have done a wonderful job putting Allen in position to succeed. When other teams draft a quarterback in the first round, they should look to this team-building job as a model to recreate.’

‘As a result of the postponement, the Bills will also have their Week 6 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, originally scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 15, tentatively pushed back to Sunday, Oct. 18. If the Titans were to develop more positive COVID tests, however, the Bills’ Week 6 game would revert to Thursday night and proceed as scheduled, per Schefter. (It’s unclear what would happen to the Bills’ Week 5 game against the Titans, in that scenario, though the NFL has publicly touted forfeiture as a possible penalty for COVID protocol violations, for which Tennessee is currently being investigated.)’

‘Now, that doesn’t mean that Favre is predicting that Allen is going to win six Super Bowls over the course of his career, the Hall of Famer is just saying that he feels like Josh Allen could end up dominating the AFC East like Brady once did.’

‘Another sterling effort from quarterback Josh Allen, and a timely forced turnover by a former All-Pro, helped the Bills remain undefeated after defeating the Raiders in Las Vegas, 30-23. Allen, who suffered an injury scare near the ned of the first half, threw a pair of first-half touchdowns as Buffalo took a 17-13 halftime lead. With the Bills ahead 23-16 in the fourth quarter, Josh Norman’s forced fumble of Raiders tight end Darren Waller set up Devin Singletary’s touchdown run. The score was also set up by Allen’s 49-yard bomb to Stefon Diggs, who caught six passes for 115 yards.’

‘”On my away trips I watch the ‘Muse’ documentary that he did,” Allen told Esiason. “Just the constant aggression that he had. In the fourth quarter when he got that look and the under-bite going, you knew that he was locked in and he was going to do everything he could to win a game. That mindset … I feel I have, I’m willing to sacrifice my body for the betterment of our team. That will never change about me.”‘

‘The Bills quarterback fell on his left wrist after completing a pass to Stefon Diggs near the end of the first half.’

‘Allen’s poor decision came during the fourth quarter of Buffalo’s 35-32 win over the Rams on Sunday. With just under eight minutes left to play, the Bills quarterback did something he almost instantly regretted: He cussed out an official.’

‘For as long as the quarterback holds the ball, the Buffalo offensive line has held up well. He has received huge contributions from wide receivers Stefon Diggs, rookie Gabriel Davis and Cole Beasley.’

‘Of course, Moss’ absence for Week 3 now opens up the door for second-year running back Devin Singletary to take on even more work in Buffalo’s backfield. Through those two contests, Moss has played in 45.27% of the offensive snaps for the Bills. While Singletary has been the starter to begin the year, he has split time with Moss, playing in 57.43% of the offensive snaps. Singletary has carried the ball 19 times this season for 86 yards and has hauled in seven of his 10 targets for 43 yards.’

‘”But I’m confident in what I can do and this Rams’ defense can do, and that’s kind of what matters the most to me and the guys around here.”‘

‘Did you know Allen is the passing yards leader in the league through two weeks? Allen’s 729 passing yards are six ahead of Matt Ryan’s 723, which is just the beginning of the incredible start the Bills quarterback is off to in 2020. Allen has completed 70.4% of his passes for 729 yards with six touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a 122.9 passer rating. Allen is just one of four quarterbacks in NFL history to complete 70% of his passes, throw for 700+ yards, 6+ touchdowns and have zero interceptions through the first two weeks of a season, joining Peyton Manning (2013), Tom Brady (2015) and Patrick Mahomes (2019).’

‘Let’s move past stats for a minute — Allen has looked completely comfortable operating Brian Daboll’s offense, except for a few antsy scampers out of the pocket when he could’ve stayed in and surveyed longer. The rhythm, timing, and seemingly cerebral connections with Stefon Diggs, John Brown, and Cole Beasley have been exquisite. Allen has repeatedly shown he wants to and can be a dangerous pocket passer. Given his excellence eluding oncoming defenders en route to big gains with his legs, Allen’s willingness to keep his eyes up and deliver in-stride strikes is a scary proposition for opposing defenses.’

‘While he could have waited a season before having the chance to test the market, White instead chose to stay in Buffalo, a team that has become a trendy pick to win the Tom Brady-less AFC East in 2020.’

‘Hauschka, 35, hadn’t necessarily been a lock to remain the Bills’ kicker. After all, Buffalo spent a draft pick on a potential successor in Bass, and the team wasn’t shy about seeking competition throughout 2019. After hosting undrafted free agent Chase McLaughlin in last year’s training camp, for example, the Bills reportedly attempted to re-acquire the rookie in December.’
