The Buffalo Bills needed to get back in the win column following a 35-10 beatdown by the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football. However, the Bills were once again an absolute mess in Week 5.
During the Bills’ 23-20 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday, October 6, quarterback Josh Allen completed 30% of passes, the worst completion rate of his career.
Allen finished the game completing just 9-of-30 passes for 131 yards and one touchdown. However, it’s a wonder he finished the game at all. With six minutes left in the fourth quarter, Allen scrambled on third down before getting tackled by his legs. While he appeared to suffer a serious head injury, Allen revealed after the game it was a multi-pronged issue.
“Big shot to the chest. Rolled my ankle,” Allen told reporters. “They flagged me for hitting my head, but felt good enough to go back in.”
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said during his press conference, “Josh is a warrior. Took a pretty good hit out there, and came back for his team and his teammates.”
Allen’s health is paramount to the Buffalo’s success this season. While he’s one tough guy, the Bills must be careful with their $258 million franchise star. The Wyoming alum took a hard hit to the head after losing a fumble during Buffalo’s loss to the Ravens last week, too.
