For the majority of the game, Allen was operating at a high level. The Bills drove the ball down the field against the Broncos with ease for much of the game, but crucial turnovers cost them. Four of them came from Allen himself. The most egregious mistake occurred at the end of the first half, when Allen scrambled with little time left on the clock and failed to slide, leading to a fumble that gave the Broncos a late field goal opportunity, which proved to be the deciding points in the game. Allen also missed Mecole Hardman and Dawson Knox on a late drive on what appeared to be easy catches, but he did connect with Brandin Cooks on a pass that could have won the Bills the game, only for Cooks to have the ball ripped away. It was certainly not Allen’s best season. Still, he made the most of a pretty weak supporting cast, finishing the regular season with 3,668 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, 10 interceptions, 579 rushing yards, and another 14 rushing touchdowns. He did take the most sacks he’s ever taken in a season and clearly didn’t have confidence in his receivers, so the Bills will need to get him help in the offseason if they ever want to get him to a Super Bowl.
