ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- To rip the bandage off, Buffalo Bills' quarterback Josh Allen struggled when facing pressure in 2018.
The Bills second-year quarterback ranked below league-average in completion percentage (47.4), yards per attempt (6.1 yards) and passer rating (61) in his rookie season -- which made Buffalo's first two games of the 2019 season against two of the league's most aggressive defensive coordinators an opportunity for Allen to showcase his offseason development.
So far, he's on the right track.
Against the New York Jets on Sunday, Allen completed 8-of-13 passes against the blitz, his lone blemish being an interception off a tipped pass at the line of scrimmage.
