Bills’ Josh Allen is on the wrong side of NFL playoff history in one category
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has NFL history attached to his name that he’s not going to be happy about… and the same goes for the rest of western New York.
There is always debate on whether or not “wins” are a statistic for a QB. For this conversation it is and unfortunately it’s not the best look.
Allen has played 13 playoff games in his career, all with the Bills. Allen is 7-6 overall in those contests and has played rather well.
Allen has averaged 258.4 yards per game passing with 25 touchdowns and only four interceptions.
Even so, those 13 starts work against him here. Allen has the most postseason starts of any quarterback in football history without making it to a Super Bowl.
To reach this, Allen edged out three of the top playoff QBs the NFL has seen.
- Peyton Manning: 12 starts before Super Bowl
- Joe Flacco: 12 starts
- Donovan McNabb: 11 starts
At least that trio showed it can still be done.
