Week 9 Takeaways: Josh Allen Outshines Russ

Reacting and overreacting to everything that happened in the Week 9 Sunday afternoon games...

Things That Made Me Giddy

Josh Allen in Beautiful Buffalo: The Bills drafted Allen in part because of his ability to play in bad weather, but those rain/wind games have given him some issues this year. On an unseasonably warm November day in Orchard Park, he obliterated the Seahawks’ blitz-happy defense with a near-flawless performance (31-for-38, 415 yards, three TDs). The gap in quarterback performances in this one was significant, with Allen simply outclassing Russell Wilson. Allen will have his ups and downs, but right now he’s the reason a team with an underperforming defense is sitting at 7-2 and just depantsed the presumptive MVP favorite.
