Atop the AFC East, the Buffalo Bills look to extend their first-place lead this week against the Las Vegas Raiders. Although the Raiders lost badly to the New England Patriots last week, this is a well-coached team with the potential to do damage in the AFC.
This was always going to be a close matchup for Buffalo, but some Josh Allen magic gave the Bills a nice lead.
In the third quarter, the Bills led 16-13 and drove down the field. This was a critical moment for Buffalo to score a touchdown, and on 3rd & 8, Allen evaded several Raiders defensive linemen, then flicked the ball into the end zone for a Keon Coleman touchdown.
After this highlight play from the 4th-ranked QB in PFN’s Impact Metric, the NFL world had some fun reactions:
NFL analyst Nick Wright declared the play made by Allen as one of the best this season, “What an absolutely sick play by Josh Allen there. One of the best plays of the season so far.”
Analyst JP Acosta jokingly called Allen a psychopath, “Josh Allen is a psychopath man lmao all you can do is laugh”.
Former NFL safety Ryan Clark praised Allen for the play, “Yea!! Josh Allen is really that guy! The scramble to the flip was wild!”
Raiders writer Sam Warren felt that play was one only Allen could make, “Only Josh Allen dude. That was insane. Bills go up 23-13.”
NFL analyst Benjamin Solak embraced the Halloween spirit when talking about Allen’s play, “Josh Allen does witchcraft. This is not righteous.”
Raiders analyst Sanjit T. felt this play is exactly what makes Allen dangerous, “Wow that’s the ultimate Josh Allen play. Just as you think you have him, he flips it to a wide open player.”
Cowboys content creator Tom Downy spoke on the insane nature of Allen’s plays and questioned how it even happened, “This is why you live with the boneheaded plays from Josh Allen, because how the hell do you pull that off?”
NFL analyst Mitchell Renz declared Allen the best QB on the planet, “That’s just Josh Allen being the best QB on planet Earth.”
At the time of writing, the Bills and Raiders are tied 23-23, which means Las Vegas made a comeback. Buffalo may need some more magic from Allen to win this game because Las Vegas will not go away.
