Turnover-prone Allen coughs up 3 more in Bills loss to Vikes

Wiki Article

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) Josh Allen lay face down on the field and Paulson Adebo Jersey kicked his feet on the turf.No, the Buffalo Bills quarterback did not aggravate an injury to his throwing elbow while sliding to tackle Minnesotas Patrick Peterson. He was, instead, reacting out of frustration for throwing an interception.And that was just the start. Allen's day only got worse, committing two more turnovers a muffed snap and an interception as Buffalo blew a 17-point second-half lead in a to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.Horrendous second half. I gotta be better, Allen said.Its become a familiar lament from a fifth-year starter, whose ball-control i sues have become a season-long concern, and for an offense having difficulty scoring points in the second half.Add it up, and the Bills (6-3) have lost two straight and surrendered their lead atop the AFC standings.No explanation as of now. We got to execute better. Thats on my shoulders," said Allen, saying the injury to his right elbow, which led to him this week after getting hurt against the Jets last week, had nothing to do with the turnovers.His first interception opened the door for the Vikings' comeback, setting up C.J. Hams 3-yard run that cut Buffalos lead to 27-23. His second turnover led to the Vikings taking the lead. One play after Buffalos defense appeared to secure the win by stopping Kirk Cousins for no gain on fourth-and-goal from the half-yard-line, Allen never gripped the snap from Mitch Morse and lost the ball. It was recovered by linebacker Eric Kendricks diving into the pile for a touchdown.Just when Allen put the Bills in position to at least come away with an overtime tie, the quarterback misfired once more. Facing second-and-10 at the Vikings 20, Allen forced a pa s over the middle intended for Gabe Davis in the end zone, only to watch Peterson jump in front and pick it off.Allen has turned the ball over at least once Montravius Adams Jersey in eight of nine games. His 10 interceptions are two more than he had all of last season, and his three lost fumbles already matched last years total.I believe in him. Thats really where it starts, coach Sean McDermott said, when asked his me sage to Allen. Hes the leader of our football team. Better days ahead, he added. This is life in the NFL, unfortunately, and its going to be a hard one to go bed tonight.Allens record dropped to 25-20 when he turns the ball over, and 7-13 when he does so after halftime.Allen has thrown two interceptions after halftime in each of his past three games, which coincide with Buffalos struggles to score points. In winning five of their first six, the Bills out-scored their opponents by a combined margin of 84-17 after halftime. In its past three Drew Brees Jersey outings, Buffalo has been outscored 53-12 and limited to four field goals.Buffalos red-zone offense in particular is sputtering. In its past five outings, the Bills have turned the ball over six times (including once on downs) and scored just nine touchdowns on 20 trips inside an opponents 20.Receiver Stefon Diggs rallied to Allens defense.If I know Josh, I know hes extremely hard on himself, Diggs said. Hes going to hate it for 24 hours, but Ive got his back. Ill take the good with the bad any day. My quarterback is a winner, he added. We can be better. We will be better.___AP NFL: hub/nfl and AP_NFL in this topic
