Bills QB Josh Allen now looks legit, and Patriots coaches have noticed: ‘Like tackling a running back’

You might recall Josh Allen as the guy who completed under 50% of his passes against the New England Patriots last year and threw three picks against them at home.

But be warned: The Buffalo Bills quarterbacks looks like he’s taken a huge step forward as a quarterback in his third NFL season.

Through seven games, Allen has led the Bills to a 5-2 record and has posted career bests in pretty much every category, including completion percentage (67.6%), yards per attempt (7.8), yards per game (288.3)

Through his first two seasons in the NFL, Allen gained a reputation as a run-first quarterback who had a tendency to lock onto receivers and wildly misfire on throws.
