Josh Allen through two games: 🦬 674 total yards 🦬 5 passing TDs 🦬 4 rushing TDs And the @BuffaloBills are 2-0. https://

What happened: The source signal puts Josh Allen at 674 total yards through two games. It also credits him with 5 passing touchdowns and 4 rushing touchdowns while Buffalo opened 2 and 0.

Why it matters: This is not just big volume. When one quarterback is creating touchdowns through the air and on the ground at the same time, defenses have to account for two different stress points on every snap, which is why the standard around him should be higher than simple highlight praise.
