Josh Allen is playing head and shoulders above any quarterback in the NFL. The Buffalo Bills quarterback right shoulder checked out OK after another historic performance.
Allen received X-rays on his right throwing shoulder after disemboweling the Detroit Lions for a 48-42 victory at Ford Field.
“Just took a funky fall. More peace of mind than anything,” Allen said in his postgame press conference. “Everything checked so I’m good.”
Allen landed on his right shoulder after taking a hit to the chest from defensive end Josh Paschal. He was also wrestled to the ground by linebackers Ben Niemann and Jack Campbell after keeping a read option and barreled into the ground on his right shoulder.
“Just a funky feeling,” Allen said. “Was able to throw and no pain right now. More precaution than anything.”
The Bills hung 559 yards of total offense on the Lions in the highest-scoring game of the NFL this season. The game had 1,080 yards of total offense and 58 first downs.
Allen accounted for four touchdowns. He completed 23 of 34 passes for 362 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 68 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries.
Buffalo has scored at least 30 points in eight straight games.
