What happened: Concern centered on how often Josh Allen is used on QB sneaks despite an explosive start to the 2026 season. The debate followed a game in which the offense produced six touchdowns, 34 first downs and no turnovers across eight possessions.
Why it matters: Allen's short-yardage rushing is a major part of the attack, but repeated sneak usage also brings extra contact for the quarterback over a long season. That balance matters more when he has already opened the year with nine total touchdowns and no turnovers.
By the numbers: Allen accounted for nine touchdowns with no turnovers in his first two games of 2026. In the latest offensive outburst, the unit had eight possessions, six touchdowns, two punts and zero turnovers, while EPA per drive marked it as the best regular-season offensive performance of Allen's era.
What to watch: Watch whether the next game brings fewer designed sneaks in short-yardage spots. If the call sheet stays the same, Allen's workload near the goal line will remain a live talking point.
