Pokes in the Pros: Week 6
LARAMIE, Wyoming (10/15/24) – After a couple bumpy weeks, Josh Allen and Buffalo got back on track in Week 6. The former University of Wyoming quarterback did it with his arm and his legs on Monday Night Football, passing 19-for-25 for 215 yards and two scores and running it nine times for 18 yards and another score.
Simply put, the Bills go as Allen goes. Aside from the Miami game, where Tua Tagovailoa got hurt, Buffalo is winless when Allen throws for less than 200 yards in a game. They’re 4-0 when he reaches that threshold.
For the season, Allen is 98-for-156 for 1,160 yards and 10 touchdowns with zero interceptions. He’s chipped in 178 yards on 35 carries with three scores for the 4-2 Bills. They host Tennessee in Week 7.
