Bill Belichick’s recent comments spotlight Josh Allen’s game-changing physicality, drawing striking parallels to another dual-threat quarterback. The former New England Patriots coach highlighted Allen’s remarkable ability to dominate critical moments with raw athletic power.
Allen, the Buffalo Bills’ quarterback, has seemingly carved a reputation similar to Cam Newton’s throughout his NFL career.
The commentary emerged during Belichick’s appearance on the “Pat McAfee Show” on Nov. 17 where he candidly discussed quarterback characteristics and performance under pressure.
“I think if you watch Josh, what you’ll see AJ, is him making a lot of those kind of plays in the fourth quarter, in a two minute situation, or near the goal line, or in the red area. He doesn’t win the game’s on the line when, when things are the most important, that’s when he’s going to, you know, take matters into his own hands and he’s a hard guy to stop.”
Allen’s performance against the Chiefs supports Belichick’s observation. On Sunday, he secured a 30-21 victory with an improbable 26-yard rushing touchdown on 4th-and-2. NFL Next Gen Stats revealed he had a 1.2% chance of scoring during that play.
