A late Josh Allen charge?

Now for the Bills offense and their quarterback questions. Can Josh Allen survive until the fourth quarter in this one? Signs point to yes, but he didn’t earlier this season when these two met.

Allen is a raw prospect still. He makes bad passes and decisions. But there’s no denying that this guy is a gamer. Allen is tied for the NFL lead in game-winning drives this season with five. That number is shared by potential MVP Russell Wilson. Allen was at it again last week, leading a fourth quarter drive out of no where for the win.

As mentioned, the Bills were in a 16-10 game last time these teams met, but Allen suffered a concussion and left the game early and didn’t return. Allen was also very, very bad in the game. He had three interceptions alone. But of course, Allen wasn’t very good until the fourth quarter last week, either. If Buffalo’s defense keep it close and Allen’s in the game late? Fasten your seat belt, Bills fans.
