Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen got a perfect Week 2 QB grade.
The Buffalo Bills beat the Detroit Lions to open Highmark Stadium, and once again, Josh Allen played like the best player in the NFL.
The 2024 MVP went 20/31 through the air for 248 passing yards and three touchdown passes. Allen also carried the ball 14 times for 69 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.
A future Hall of Famer, Allen got a perfect Week 2 QB grade from Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski, who gave Allen an "A+."
"Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills christened the new Highmark Stadium with an impressive victory," Sobleski wrote. "A five-touchdown performance by Allen gives him nine total touchdowns through two weeks of play. It's early, but the Bills signal-caller is clearly on an MVP trajectory. At this point, the only complaint regarding Allen is that he's scoring too many touchdowns, specifically as a runner near the goal line."
The Bills are 2-0 behind Allen's stellar start to the season. Allen has 582 passing yards, five passing touchdowns, 92 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns through two games.
More importantly, Allen has zero interceptions.
“I’ve never seen him start out like this. This is like mid- to late-season form of him,” said Bills center Connor McGovern. “I think this can be the chance to put his statement on, like, this is going to be a career year.”
Allen and the Bills are averaging 38.5 points through their first two games. The quarterback has accounted for 90 percent of the team’s touchdowns, and 79 percent of their yardage. The Bills are only the third team in NFL history to start 2-0 despite giving up 30-plus points in each game.
“When you ask everybody on the team to empty the tank, you can watch how he plays,” coach Joe Brady said. “And it’s like, how does everybody else not feel like they need to empty it out? Because he literally gave everything he had out there. He put the team on his back in a lot of those situations.”
Allen and the Bills face the 0-2 Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3.
Buffalo should win that game easily to improve to 3-0.
