For the Patriots to crush the next big test, it’s all about stopping Bills quarterback Josh Allen

FOXBOROUGH — Josh Allen is a transformer.

Buffalo’s quarterback is part bulldozer, part cannon. He’s both a gunslinger in the pocket and a reckless wrecking ball when he’s out of it. The 6-foot-5-inch, 237-pounder is the NFL’s best dual-threat player as evidenced by his 3,183 passing yards and 561 rushing yards.

He’s responsible for 28 touchdowns, he’s absolutely a threat to put up 6 points on every snap, and he’ll be at Gillette Stadium Thursday night when his Bills play the Patriots.

“Allen’s the leading rusher, so that tells you all you need to know about what you have to defend every time he touches the ball,’’ Bill Belichick said Sunday.
