The Buffalo Bills improved to 8-3 this year with a narrow 28-25 victory over the Detroit Lions this evening, as a late field goal sealed the victory for Sean McDermott’s side. However, it was far from a 10/10 performance from their quarterback Josh Allen.
Despite throwing for 253 yards and two touchdowns, he threw his 11th interception of the season – his seventh in his last five games – while his team were 17-14 up in the third quarter. It is also one more interception than he had at this stage last year.
This match was also one where Allen extended his poor turnover record this season, making it 14 for the year, two more than 1-8-1 Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills and 4-6 Lions quarterback Jared Goff.

Luckily for him, his strong relationship with wide receiver Stefon Diggs was highlighted once again, as the latter picked up a touchdown and 77 receiving yards, taking his total yardage for the season to 1,100.
Allen will now have to be careful that his turnovers don’t continue, because better teams will take advantage of those situations.
