‘“He’s been great for us,” quarterback Josh Allen said of Knox. “The more that we can get him the ball, it seems like the better that we do. He’s so athletic. He’s so big. He’s so fast.

When we’re spreading it around and getting everybody involved, I think we become very balanced, and I think that’s a sign of a good team.”’
