Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is not a guy to play man defense against, according to one stat.
Quarterback EPA, or Expected Points Added per dropback, is a football statistic that measures a quarterback’s efficiency on a play-by-play basis. The Bills QB had the best numbers in this statistic in the NFL last season when facing man coverage, per Field Vision Sports.
Allen just barely took the top spot, but having noted that, the first and second positions are much better than the rest of the league.
