Most NFL tracking services consider "deep" throws to be those that travel 20 or more yards down the field in the air.

Allen excels on those throws, but what he really excels on are the even deeper throws. 
 

Nobody in the league has attempted more throws of 30-plus air yards than Allen, who has lofted 14 of them.

On those 14 plays, he has nine completions, which have accounted for 375 yards and two touchdowns.

 

That's a 147.3 passer rating. (Only Prescott's is higher (149.3), and he's attempted less than half as many throws as Allen, going 4 of 6 for 163 yards and two touchdowns.)

 

Allen completed four of these passes against the Chiefs alone. Only four other players have more than four of these completions on the entire season.

Yeah allen at the 20-50 yard range is just... ridiculous. We are so unbelievably lucky to have him as our QB1.

He makes absurd plays look completely routine...on a lot of these strikes he throws deep down the field on the run the receiver is only open because the defender is like no wayy anybody can make this throw lol

Allen’s deep throws on the run are a thing of beauty. His deep throws from the pocket are less consistent. At least he’s not air mailing them like the first two year though, more often than not he’s under-throwing receivers.
