The Buffalo Bill came into Minnesota Sunday as the underdogs, probably one of the biggest lines we'll see in the NFL this year at +16.5. I believe I can say with confidence that not many people had the Bills as an upset pick this week (I know I sure didn't) and if they did and happened to place a bet on it they walked away with a pocket full of cash.
Josh Allen gained his first NFL career win as a starting QB and he did it in quite the fashion. One play that will likely make number 1 on ESPN's Top 10 is the one pictured here when Allen hurdled over Minnesota's LB Anthony Barr.
I have honestly never seen a QB do that before, however I wouldn't be surprised is some QBs like Michael Vick or Cam Newton have done the same. You usually only see running backs do this, every now and then a receiver. My friend and I couldn't believe what we just saw while on the couch ingesting way too much food watching Red Zone!
Allen may make the ESPN Top 10 but I also think Barr could make the Not Top 10 with that horrible attempt at tackling. At least he'll get a bunch of flak from coaches and teammates in the film and locker rooms this week.
Josh Allen finished the game with a fairly decent stat line completing 15 of 22 passes totaling 196 yards with 1 passing touchdown along with two rushing TDs including the one pictured below where he stretched it all the way out to the pylon for 6.
I'm not sure if the Bills have turned a corner to change the dismal outlook for the team this year or if one of the best defenses in the NFL just had an off-day or possibly even came in overconfident. Buffalo will be traveling again next week to face Green Bay, another team that has surprisingly performed was under what was expected of them so far this year.
