What happened: Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen firmly denied that a knee injury is affecting his willingness to scramble. The statement follows two consecutive games against the Los Angeles Chargers and New England Patriots where Allen uncharacteristically passed up open running lanes.

Why it matters: Speculation about Allen's health surfaced after a Week 3 win over the Chargers, with observers noting his reluctance to run extending into a Week 4 loss to the Patriots. His mobility remains a critical element of the Bills' offense as they prepare for a Monday night matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.

By the numbers: Allen recorded just 22 rushing yards on 13 combined carries over his last two outings, including a four-yard effort in Week 4. Over the first two games of the season, he carried the ball 20 times for 92 yards and four touchdowns.

What to watch: Buffalo faces the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football in Week 5.
