Pokes in the Pros: Week 17
LARAMIE, Wyoming (12/31/24) – It may resemble directions on a shampoo bottle, but that’s the most appropriate way to describe what Josh Allen is doing. It’s rinse, lather and repeat.
Allen made history in the Bills’ 40-14 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday, which locked Buffalo into the AFC’s No. 2 seed. His big game gave him 40 touchdowns in 2024, marking the fifth straight season of at least 40 touchdowns, and that’s the first time that feat has been accomplished in the history of the game.
Allen’s final stat line Sunday was 16-for-27 for 182 yards and two touchdowns. He added 17 yards on five carries with another score. For the season, Allen is 307-for-483 for 3,731 yards with 28 touchdowns and just six picks, while adding 531 rush yards on 102 carries with 12 scores.
Buffalo, which is 13-3, travels to New England in Week 18. There’s a high likelihood that Allen will only play a small portion of the game with very little left to accomplish in the regular season for the Bills.
