Say what you will about Josh Allen. There will be some crazy plays along the way (like a cross-field lateral in the final minute of time’s game). But they’ve got him dialed in pretty good right now. He’s doing all-time kind of things.
Buffalo is 3-0, and in each of those games, Allen has thrown for at least 300 yards and 3 TDs. No Bills quarterback has ever done that – not even Jim Kelly when the K-Gun was rolling.
It’s an exclusive club. In NFL history, only 13 other quarterbacks have done it during their careers. A few have done it multiple times (at least according to the stat sort tools available at Pro-Football-Reference.com).
Next up for Allen will be trying to make it four in row. Only three have put together such a streak: Steve Young (the only quarterback to reach five games), Peyton Manning and Patrick Mahomes.
