ESPN: The Buffalo Bills Announce a Troubling Josh Allen Update Ahead of the Weekend Game.
Josh Allen went to the X-ray machine after Buffalo’s most recent 48-42 victory against Detroit, and the Bills Mafia undoubtedly held their breath for a second. However, Allen is now known to have stated that he was only exercising caution following what the quarterback called a “funky fall” on his right shoulder. In his own words, “peace of mind more than anything” was what he sought. The 11-3 Bills and their supporters now have it. Josh is doing well. After the game, he had some of those tests. “He’s doing fine,” coach Sean McDermott said.
Official proof that Allen is completely healthy… at least in comparison may be found in the Wednesday practice report.
As the Bills prepare to play the New England Patriots this weekend, the article does not even mention the NFL’s top MVP candidate. Allen’s performance, which has been increasingly separating him from the rest of the league MVP competition in recent weeks, was a major factor in Buffalo’s ability to pull off the shock against Detroit. After the victory, Allen received recognition for his efforts as the AFC Offensive Player of the Week. This is Allen’s third time winning the award this season, which ties him with Ravens running back Lamar Jackson and places him second in the league behind Eagles running back Saquan Barkley.
Allen had 362 passing yards, 68 running yards, two passing touchdowns, and two rushing scores at the end of Sunday’s game. “The mindset we had this week was win every play,” Allen stated. “No matter what the play was, figure out how to do it as well as possible. Guys made some excellent plays in there, and we were only thinking about the next one.” Allen became the first player in league history to score two running touchdowns and at least two throwing touchdowns in back-to-back games on Sunday. He now hopes to do similarly against the Patriots, who are 3-11.
