‘”Right now he’s the best quarterback,” Woody said after acknowledging that there are other good quarterbacks. “He can play whatever way you want to play. If you need him to air it out and throw it all over the yard, Josh Allen can do that. If you want him rumbling and tumbling all over the field, guess what? He can do that.”‘

Three questions: Bills' victory opens door for shot at home-field advantage
‘Obviously, it’s a big deal because it opens the door for the Bills to potentially get the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage for the playoffs. That would require the Chiefs to lose one more game if the Bills win out, or lose two more if the Bills go 5-1. ESPN Analytics says the Chiefs have a 53% chance to get the No. 1 seed. Regardless, the win puts the Bills in good position to earn the No. 2 seed. Pittsburgh is 8-2, but the Steelers have a rough schedule the last seven weeks, including a visit to Kansas City. Pittsburgh’s win over Baltimore on Sunday helps the Bills, because it drops the Ravens to 7-4.’

But three plays gained 7 yards, and on fourth down, Allen threw an interception.’
