Josh Allen is an absolute force, and he just keeps racking up the rushing touchdowns. The Buffalo Bills quarterback pushed his way into the end zone from the 1-yard line at MetLife Stadium to put his team up 7-0 with 2:49 left in the first quarter.
Allen’s Unstoppable Legs Are A Problem
That 1-yard blast wasn’t just any score, folks. It was Allen’s *tenth* rushing touchdown of the season, and it’s also his 89th career rushing score. Think about that for a second: a quarterback with numbers like a running back. He’s not just punching it in either, Allen also converted a pair of fourth downs with his legs earlier in the game. Even if one of those drives ended in a punt, the man’s willingness and ability to extend plays with his feet is a nightmare for defenses. The Bills are leaning on that, clearly, and it’s paying off big time.
Jets Already Hurting, Geno Smith Struggles
On the other side of the field, the New York Jets are having a rough go of it early. After Buffalo’s opening score, the Jets went three-and-out on their first possession. You gotta wonder what’s going on with their offense. Wide receiver Adonai Mitchell managed to get some real separation from Bills corner Christian Benford on third down, but Jets quarterback Geno Smith just flat out underthrew him, leading to an incompletion. Ouch. Adding insult to injury, their wide receiver Omar Cooper had to leave the game with an ankle injury and is currently questionable to return. Not the start you want when you’re facing a guy like Josh Allen.
The Bills got an early lead thanks to Allen’s relentless ground game. With their offense clicking and the Jets already struggling with injuries and missed opportunities, this game is shaping up to be a test of mental toughness for New York.
