Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is having an incredible season. While not every game is full of massive statistical outputs, the offense is running efficiently, is capable of huge plays, and is leading the Bills on their way to an impressive 7-2 record through the first nine games. 

Allen has thrown for at least two passing touchdowns in each of the last four games. While his interception-less streak ended and two dropped passes have fallen into the hands of defenders, Allen still boasts an incredibly robust 17-2 touchdown to interception ratio.

"You watch his comfort level in the pocket. You watch him progressing through his progressions, and his progression reads, and his comfort level and decisiveness with what he wants to get done with the ball when the ball is in his hands, and even some things at the line of scrimmage that that he's doing game in and game out for us," head coach Sean McDermott said when asked about Allen. 

"So I just think when you play that quarterback position, there's just so much when you come into the league on your shoulders, whether it's on the field or off the field, and he's done a great job of chipping away at that growth and into that kind of workload. And where he is now — I really believe he's at the top of his game."

Allen and this offense is at its best this year when he is taking the easy completions, checking the ball down, allowing the play-makers to excel after the catch, while picking and choosing his spots for the deep throw or the ad-lib heroics that we've come to know and love from him. Allen doesn't need to be Super Man on every play, and when he's not, things have been going incredibly well.
