Bills QB Josh Allen delivered a strong performance in Sunday’s win over New Orleans. The 29-year-old threw for 209 yards with 2 TDs and 1 INT, adding 45 yards and 1 score on the ground. Allen completed 72.7% of his passes.
What They're Saying
“Still a lot to work on,” HC Sean McDermott said of today's win, via the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle. “That was a hard game, and we knew it was going to be tough. They’re all tough.”

The Saints surprisingly kept this game close. They trailed by only two at the midway point of the fourth quarter, as Buffalo didn’t pull away until late.
Allen still didn’t benefit from boosted pass attempts. On a relatively light 57 offensive plays, Allen threw only 22 passes. He’s now posted fewer than 30 passes in three straight.
Pass protection proved problematic at times. One reason why: The absence of RT Spencer Brown. Replacement Ryan Van Demark -- a former UDFA -- struggled to contain the Saints' pass rush.
Allen’s TDs went to Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid. Shakir did most of the work on a 43-yard screen pass score in the first quarter. Later, Allen hit a wide open Kincaid along the sideline for a 28-yard score.
Bottom line: Allen remains a no-doubt QB1 for the road ahead. Next up is a matchup with New England.
