Allen, fueled by Week 1 showing, bounces back
Allen, fueled by Week 1 showing, bounces back
Sep 18, 2023 by ESPN
Key Facts
- Scattered boos were heard in a Highmark Stadium filled to the brim in blue and red as the Bills gave the ball back with an early 7-0 deficit.
- Allen said after the win that he didn't pay any attention to what was being said and written about him, but that his performance the previous week did affect him.
- The benefit this time was a Week 2 turnaround in which Allen, 27 and in just his sixth season, had his fifth career game with three or more touchdowns and an 80% completion percentage, the most by an NFL player before turning 30.
- He didn't throw his first incompletion until well into the first quarter, and the 13 straight completions were a career best and the longest streak by a Bills quarterback to start a game since Jim Kelly had 14 straight in Week 1 in 1990, according to Elias Sports.
