Man, Josh Allen’s first half on Monday against the Los Angeles Rams defense was something else, and not in a good way, especially considering how strong his 2026 campaign has been overall. It was a head-scratcher that had pretty much everyone, including Eli Manning, wondering what exactly was going on out there.
The Half That Had Everyone Fuming
This was definitely not the start Allen was hoping for, and the numbers don’t lie. He completed just four of his seven pass attempts for a measly 60 yards. Not exactly lighting up the scoreboard, right? And it wasn’t much better on the ground either, with Allen adding only 21 rushing yards through the first two quarters. The real kicker, though? An interception thrown right into double coverage in the final minute of the half. You just can’t do that, especially when the clock is winding down. Despite all that, the Bills somehow still managed to go into halftime leading 13-7, thanks to a few field goals and a touchdown from James Cook III. Talk about a save!
Eli Manning and The Twitter Roar
Naturally, when a high-profile QB has a half like that, the internet absolutely exploded. NFL fans and fantasy managers were losing their minds on social media, ripping into Allen’s performance. But it wasn’t just the anonymous takes. Eli Manning himself, watching from the Manningcast, piled on the heat. You know it’s a rough half when a former Super Bowl MVP is taking shots. Everyone’s watching Allen, wondering what happened to the QB who’s had such a strong start to the year.
What happens in the second half of this game? Will Allen clean it up and show why he’s had a strong 2026 campaign so far, or is this rough patch going to continue? Everyone’s glued to their screens to find out if he can turn this around.
