An excerpt from Buffalo Rumblingsarticle 5 things we learned:
Looking past Allen’s turnovers:
Allen had three more turnovers in this game, and while the second of those was essentially an arm punt on an ill-fated 4th & 2 play, the other two — an interception and a lost fumble — directly took points off the board for the Bills. (He also threw a ball short of the end zone at the end of the first half that led to the clock expiring without Bills points, which likely earned him an icy stare from Sean McDermott in the locker room.)
Beyond those few mistakes, however — which are now all but customary to the Allen Experience — No. 17 was his usual MVP-caliber self. He accounted for 426 total yards, 359 through the air and another 67 on the ground,
and threw two touchdowns,** including the game-winning toss to tight end Dawson Knox with less than eight minutes remaining.
He completed 30-of-38 passes, spreading the wealth between eight different receivers, but divvying the bulk of the work up to his big three of Stefon Diggs (7 for 87), Dalton Kincaid (7 for 84), and Khalil Shakir (6 for 105). He made plays with his legs, including but certainly not limited to a crucial 15-yard run on 3rd & 13 late in the fourth quarter to extend a drive and eliminate Miami’s remaining timeouts.
Despite the negative, this was an MVP-caliber effort from Allen. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
