Sunday Night Football brings us an AFC East showdown as the Buffalo Bills host the New England Patriots in upstate New York. Kickoff is at 8:20 p.m. ET, and the rivalry game can be seen on NBC.
Bills QB Josh Allen isn’t just making plays through the air — he’s doing serious damage on the ground, too. The reigning MVP ranks fourth among quarterbacks in rushing yards with 131 and sits second in rush attempts at 31. With 3 rushing touchdowns to his name — tied for second-most among quarterbacks — it’s clear Allen isn’t shy about using his legs to keep drives alive and punch it into the end zone.

- Over the last five games, Allen has averaged 21.60 yards per longest rush. The only time he came up short was Week 1 against the Ravens, where his longest scamper was just 9 yards.
- Despite ranking just 43rd in scramble attempts among quarterbacks with 14, Allen leads the league in scramble yards with 143, per PFF.
- In Buffalo's Week 16 clash with the Pats last season, Allen ran for 30 yards on six attempts, highlighted by a 12 yard scramble.
- Allen could have more room to operate with the New England Patriots DT Milton Williams listed as questionable for Week 5 due to an ankle injury — potentially setting the stage for a few long Allen trots.
