Josh Allen knocked out of Bills-Patriots game after helmet-to-helmet hit

The Buffalo Bills played the New England Patriots tight, but fell short of upsetting their AFC East rivals after having to go to backup quarterback Matt Barkley.

On the second play of the fourth quarter, Bills’ second-year quarterback Josh Allen tucked the ball to try to pick up the necessary yards on third-and-8. New England safety Duron Harmon had Allen wrapped up around six yards in, but at seven yards, cornerback Jonathan Jones came in to help on the stop.

He drilled Allen helmet-to-helmet, knocking the quarterback out. Allen was not sliding at the time.
