EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The sight in the first quarter was rare: Josh Allen running off the field injured and replaced by backup Mitch Trubisky.
His absence, however, was brief as the star Buffalo Bills quarterback missed only two plays with a bloody nose before returning to the field and leading them to a 30-10 victory over the New York Jets to improve to 2-0. Allen has not missed a start or significant time in a game due to injury since his rookie year.
When he first got to the podium after Sunday's game, Allen -- with a portion of his nose visibly bruised -- was asked how it was. He said, "We can breathe, so it's good."
