This provides no adjustment for era.

The Buffalo Bills are currently a 3-point underdog at the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5. ➡️That would be the biggest underdog Josh Allen has been in a game in nearly FIVE years (+3.5 at Tom Brady's TB Bucs on Dec. 12, 2021)

This is an all-timer.

Who leads the NFL in touchdowns, leads the NFL’s No. 1 offense, while carrying a bottom-quarter defense to a 75% winning-percentage? Without a Top-25 WR.

For a time, it could be argued that the Jaguars were the most QB-dependent team in the National Football League.

Taking quarterback questions, if you have them. ☕️

It’s not that Josh has nobody. He has unremarkable talent at the skill positions—in totality. Their rankings are their rankings. Cook has been phenomenal on the ground. The point is the totality of the support. There’s a real thirst to emphasize isolated points of strength while overlooking the total body of weaknesses. I was vocal about the personnel’s limitations before Week 1, and four games in, the on-field results have validated those concerns. Allen has not been perfect, but he does lead the NFL in touchdowns (13) and is pacing a +38.25 TD-to-turnover differential, which would be the 5th best mark in NFL history. Only Brady (2007), Manning (2013), and Rodgers (2011, 2020) are ahead of that. Better than Patrick Mahomes’ career-best +38 in 2018—with considerably less talent around him than the 2018 Chiefs, obviously. It’s an almost impossible level of play to sustain of course, which is why there are only 4 examples in NFL history above +38. That’s MVP-caliber play and no windows > totality framing detracts from that.

The journey continues 🫡 Happy birthday, 16!   @FISGlobal | #DUUUVAL

Pat Surtain injury not as bad as feared. Out for LAC this week and likely the following TNF game against Seattle; source expects him back for Cardinals game.

Lamar Jackson’s ANY/A mark through four games is 9.5. That’s a gargantuan number—just above his career high 9.4 in 2024 which ranked No. 1 in the NFL. #RavensFlock

Roughly one quarter through the 2026 season, #Bills QB Josh Allen leads the NFL in touchdowns (13) and the league’s No. 1 scoring offense (31.8 PPG). The chase for MVP is on, with Brock Purdy (12) not far behind. #BillsMafia #FTTB

D.J. Moore ranked 64th-50th-26th respectively in receptions-yards-TD receptions last year—over a full 17-game season. That was Buffalo’s answer at WR1. The Bills defense ranked 21st in PPG prior to Sunday’s game vs. New England. Nobody is putting down anything. That is where they ranked.

Kenneth Walker III is one of the most impactful FA signings… ever? - 191 total yards, 2 TDs vs DEN - 178 total yards vs IND - 73 total yards, 2 TDs vs MIA - 177 total yards, 2 TDs vs LV K9 has 537 rushing yards this season… 116 more than next best.
