‘Ingram’s tipped pass was fitting, considering the Bills did just enough on defense to win the game. Buffalo fell behind 17-3 in the second quarter with very few answers for Murray’s scrambling ability.’

Sabato: Josh Allen proves again he can take the Bills as far as they let him
‘For all the cringing when Allen takes a hit, the Bills know that’s what makes Allen one of the premier players in the NFL and it makes him beloved in the locker room. Allen wants to stick his nose into a fight, he’s willing to take a hit if it means getting a touchdown or a first down.’
Opinion | The Buffalo Bills open with a win and a prayer — for Josh Allen’s left hand
‘But in between, there was enough brilliance, recklessness, imagination and leadership by the 29-year-old Allen that the Bills carried the day. He still guides a Buffalo offence that, despite a lot of change, appears potent enough for the Bills to once again be a force in the AFC East.’

NFL on CBS analyst Ross Tucker was more than excited to explain this rule during the Bills’ win over the Arizona Cardinals.’

‘Allen dove into the endzone after hurdling an Arizona defender. He landed awkwardly and was examined by medical staff on the sideline.
