Look at Allen’s numbers in the 10 victories Buffalo posted (64.9 % completion rate, 7.4 yards per attempt, 15 touchdowns, six interceptions, 95.9 QB rating) compared to his numbers in Buffalo’s six losses (48.6 % completion rate, 5.5 yards per attempt, five touchdowns, three interceptions, 67.8 QB rating).
