The Buffalo Bills won their first preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts 23-19. There was far more good than bad, as I previously discussed the takeaways from the contest.
Matt Barkley torched the defense for multiple touchdowns which headlined the afternoon. Sean McDermott even opened up on the QB2 battle and that it's very much anyone's position right now.

On Allen calling the plays and how it translated to success, QB Matt Barkley opened up to the media, "I don't know the actual number. I do know that touchdown to Dez on the left, we had talked about it on the sideline."
"He called it…it might have been that whole drive. Dorsey was in my ear the whole time but I think Josh was relaying him up."
Ending his segment, throwing a little shade at QB1, Barkley had a perfect soundbite, "I don't wanna give too much credit here."
Allen, adding to his already impressive repertoire, once again stole the show.

There's no doubt that anyone who's watched Josh Allen's rise with the Buffalo Bills over the past few years has seen glimpses of greatness. Whether it's him hurdling a defender as if he was or throwing a dot deep down the field, Allen has "it." And although it's way too early in his career to […]
