Josh Allen Says He’s Working Through Throwing-Mechanics Issue After OT Win
Coaches and media say fixing his delivery is urgent to preserve the Bills’ passing consistency before their next matchup.
Overview
- The Bills beat the Rams 37-34 in overtime on Monday and Allen told reporters he has been dealing with a throwing-mechanics issue that affected his early passing.
- Allen completed 4 of 7 passes for 60 yards with an interception in the first half before finishing 12 of 19 for 210 yards and a late touchdown as he relaxed his focus in the second half.
- Allen’s legs carried much of the load as he rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown, giving Buffalo a win despite passing inconsistencies.
- Reporters later shared a practice clip showing Allen bumping his right hand and an independent observer raised the possibility of a thumb concern, but the team has not confirmed any hand injury.
- Coach Joe Brady publicly noted the passing problems and analysts warn that the recent rise in interceptions makes a quick mechanical fix a priority for Buffalo’s short-term hopes.
