What happened: Allen's first runout at Highmark Stadium is the latest milestone attached to the venue's opening stretch. This week already centered him in the debut buildup, and he also wore a custom cap for the stadium debut after August coverage linked him to the building's first touchdown.

Why it matters: There is no recent box-score data in the signal, but the current context is still strong. July coverage had Allen ranked first in ESPN's top-ten quarterback survey, and when the league's biggest quarterback conversation and a new stadium's defining moments both point to the same player, calling him QB1 is a fair take.
