Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen Considers Shifting Approach Amid Team's Offensive Slump
Allen hints at becoming more upbeat and allowing his emotions to show more after Bills score just 10 points in first half of past three games.
- Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has suggested that his 'low positive' approach, where he consciously maintains a low emotional state, might be affecting the team's recent offensive slump. Allen believes he performs better under this state, but now surmises that it may limit his energy and ability to make intuitive decisions on the field.
- Allen suggests a need to return to a more expressive and emotional state of play, potentially lifting his team's performance. This change in approach comes as Buffalo prepares to host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wake of managing only 10 points in the first half of their past three games.
- Coordinator Ken Dorsey, under scrutiny for the team's performance, has declined to provide insights on improving its production. This silence follows a surprising offensive slump that immediately succeeded a three-game winning streak, in which Buffalo outscored their opponents 123-33.
- Buffalo's early game struggles have been impacting its injury-depleted defense, which is down three starters. The team has been more successful in rallying to score in fourth quarters, but this has only resulted in one win over the past three games.
- Amid these challenges, the team has restructured LT Dion Dawkins' contract to free up nearly $4 million in salary cap space. This move follows TE Dalton Knox's wrist injury, which has him sidelined indefinitely, and Denver edge rusher Von Miller's recent inclusion into the team.
