Josh Allen Weekly: 2024 Entering Week Seven Edition
Examining Josh Allen's 2024 metrics to asses trends and measure his performance.
After a rough two-week stretch, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills passing offense took a positive turn with Monday Night’s performance against the New York Jets.
In two games combined against the Ravens and Texans, Allen completed 25-of-59 passes (42.4 percent) for 311 yards with one touchdown, no interceptions, and a passer rating of 65. In a bounce-back outing against the Jets, Allen was 19-of-25 (76 percent) for 215 yards with two touchdowns, no interceptions, and a third touchdown on the ground. It’s also noteworthy that this came against a stellar Jets defense on the road where Allen has had his share of struggles throughout his career.
With the sample size now at six games, it’s becoming more apparent that the Texans and Ravens games aren’t the norm for what we can expect from Allen in 2024. For the season, Allen is second among all quarterbacks in EPA per dropback at .23.
While the overall efficiency and production have been excellent for Allen, this week’s addition of wide receiver Amari Cooper makes for an even more exciting outlook moving forward. With that in mind, in addition to the usual analysis that you get from me in this weekly post, I want to consider how Cooper impacts each of the categories.
