Josh Allen has always been different, but this season he’s winning in a different way.
The Buffalo Bills’ starting quarterback is completing a career-high 75% of his passes, dissecting defenses with more precision than ever. He’s become more surgeon than gunslinger with seven touchdown passes, no interceptions, and just one turnover heading into Sunday night’s matchup against the Ravens.
Trying to contain Allen is priority No. 1 for Baltimore, and that’s a huge challenge for a Ravens defense that has given up the most passing yards in the NFL.
Allen has been making the right play, seemingly not as obsessed with making the big play. That approach has made him even tougher to defend, adding another layer to a quarterback who can still win with powerful runs or deep throws downfield.
Allen’s air yards per pass attempt ranks just 21st in the NFL among starting quarterbacks through the first three weeks, according to NextGen Stats. However, the Bills lead the league in scoring (37.3 per game) and have won their last two games by an average of 29 points.
After trading star receiver Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans, Buffalo’s offense has become more equal opportunity. Allen completed passes to 10 different receivers in Buffalo’s 47-10 rout of the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3, and his four touchdown passes were thrown to four different targets.
When Allen drops back to pass so far this season, good things usually happen.
