He made quick, accurate decisions and never forced the issue on his way to racking up 274 yards passing and three touchdowns. Allen was also able to spread the ball around; nine different players finished with at least one catch. After the game, Allen said he loves feeling how he felt after the Jets game because it fuels him for games like Sunday.’

He completed 31 of 37 passes for 274 yards and three touchdowns as Buffalo pulled away. Oh, and he only ran three times for 7 yards.’

It forces us to be better, and I want to be the best I can be playing this game, and the best quarterback I can be for the Buffalo Bills. So, I take the bad with the good. I understand it, and I’m just trying to let it fuel me to my benefit.”‘
