Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen faced a lot of criticism after his performance in Week 1 against the New York Jets, and rightfully so. He was as much of a reason as anyone for the team suffering a loss on Monday Night Football to kick off the season despite the Jets getting deflated following the injury to Aaron Rodgers.
In that game, Josh Allen turned the ball over four times, throwing three interceptions to safety Jordan Whitehead and fumbling twice, losing one of them. That resulted in him having the most turnovers in the NFL since he joined the league as the No. 7 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft of the Bills.
Hearing all of the criticism, Josh Allen has taken his game to another level in the three games since. The Wyoming product has thrown only one interception in the last three games and has zero fumbles, helping lead Buffalo to three dominant wins over the Las Vegas Raiders, Washington Commanders and Miami Dolphins.
The Bills have scored at least 37 points in all three games, averaging 41 points per game with 123 total. It has been a truly dominant stretch for the perennial MVP candidate, who had a historic performance against the Dolphins.
Coming off of a record-setting game offensively themselves in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos, Miami received a taste of their own medicine in Week 4. Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs were a two-man wrecking crew, getting whatever they wanted against the Dolphins.
Josh Allen completed 21-of-25 passes for 320 yards and four touchdowns without an interception. He rounded out his stat line with four rushes for 17 yards and another score. Six of those completions, 120 yards and three touchdowns went to Diggs, who ran circles around the Miami defense.
In the process, he joined Rodgers in an exclusive group. According to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team, Josh Allen is only the second player to have at least 300 yards passing, four touchdowns, one rushing touchdown and a perfect 158.3 pass rating in a game, with Rodgers being the other. He accomplished the feat in Week 7 of the 2019 season.
Josh Allen has certainly quieted a lot of his critics with his performance over the last three weeks. The Bills have been a dominant team over that span, but they face a tall task in Week 5. They will be taking their show on the road, heading overseas to London to play the Jacksonville Jaguars.
