Josh beats down another team he should

The Bills quarterback looked… elite? Again?

Josh Allen might not have fully arrived yet, but Buffalo should certainly be excited after the first two games of the season. The Dolphins do have a better secondary than the Jets, but cornerback Byron Jones went down early, and still, their overall roster is a bit of a rebuilding project still. They’re not as bad as the Jets, but next week against the Rams will be another level test.

However, Allen and the Bills can only play the hand their dealt, and so far, they’ve hit on almost everything. In Week 1, Allen had his first 300-yard passing game against a bad Jets team. Versus an improved Dolphins team, even better. Allen had 400-plus yards passing and relied almost solely on his arm. Allen only had two carries against the Dolphins, a week after rushing the ball for a career-high 14 times.

Allen still has something to prove, he has to do this against better teams as well. But what else do good quarterbacks and teams do? They beat teams and Buffalo did that.
