No, not that one; the one I'm thinking of was between the 20s I think.

It was up the seam in heavy traffic; maybe even crazier than this one to Shakir.

Are you referring to the lions game , last year? The pass to Ty Johnson

Purty good, but not as good as a G Unit mixtape, ya dig?

G Unit. What a reference 😝

[Tulsabillsfanz]

That was a high risk, high reward throw.  That’s why it making that throw as a last resort on 4th down, made it a necessary throw, not a reckless throw.

I think it may have been; it was in Detroit right?

My mental image of the play is in a darkish indoor stadium.

The throw was insane - one of those crazy Josh throws that seems to defy the laws of physics, like the throw to Diggs in Detroit on Thanksgiving and the TD throw to Ty Johnson in the back of the endzone.  It’s like watching Neo dodge bullets in the Matrix - Josh bends time and space.  He operates in another plain of existence.

This is actually a great analogy.

Was it the missile he threw up the middle to Diggs?

Amazing throw. I would argue this isn’t even in Allen’s top 3. Just off the top of my head, the pass to Murray in the Chiefs game, the  Ty Johnson throw in the Denver playoff game, the TD to Knox in the Patriots playoff game, the throw to Shakir vs Baltimore regular season last year.
 

I mean this is literally just the tip of the iceberg. He has some of the most improbable completions we have ever seen.

Actually I think it was at 5:40 of this video, but unless you see the view from the endzone camera you don't get a sense of how unreal it was.

Yep exactly. I believe it was first drive 3rd quarter.
 

He absolutely zipped the ball in the middle of the field to Ty in traffic as he was buying time in the pocket

Airbender.

Are you not entertained!?

 

I mean, he’s our guy. WTH

Great play for sure. Josh Allen has had dozens of throws that are just jaw dropping throughout his career.

IMO This  is most definitely a top 3 throw of all time. Just a perfect blend of Allen’s elite scrambling, clutch factor, awareness, and arm strength. Shakir wasn’t open even by NFL standards.

The difficulty of this throw is hard to quantify. It shouldn’t even be possible. The defenders this ball had to go past… the accuracy… the evasiveness… and to hit Shakir right dead set in the numbers.  Incredible.

 

 

He had a pass just like this in the home opener vs the Raiders in September 2023.

From his POV, it was freaking stunning that he could see the single square foot of open field Johnson was going to appear in before he threw the ball.

His last two home games vs Tampa and Cincinnati have been ridiculous.

Man I love our QB17

[Dan Darragh]

The best Josh play ever (so far) wasn't even a throw

 

 

[oldmanfan]

Phenomenal throw.  Reminiscent of the throw to Diggs on Thansgiving Day.

[Since1981]

Santa. Can you pair #17 with #1 or #5 (Cin). Uuuhhhggg.

That was pure awesomeness. He’s got so many great moments that overshadow almost every other QB in this leagues greatest moment
