Next Gen Stats: Josh Allen’s final pass attempt was ridiculous

Yup, that was a rocket:

Bills quarterback Josh Allen appeared to have something going on with his throwing arm in the final moments against the Jets.

On the final play for the Bills during the 20-17 loss, Allen unleashed a deep bomb. It went off the hands of wide receiver Gabe Davis in the end, but the throw itself is the focus.

According to NFL Next Gen Stats, the ball traveled nearly 70 yards in the air. That was good for the longest pass attempt in the league in the past six seasons — since before Allen was even drafted.

Not bad for a potentially injured player
