Film room: The Patriots need to contain Josh Allen, the NFL’s most dangerous scrambling quarterback

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady reached 1,000 career rushing yards earlier this season. It took the future Hall of Famer 19 years to reach the figurative mile stone.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen will reach 1,000 yards on the ground a bit sooner. If he keeps up his current pace, the rookie will hit the mark next season.

While Brady is the superior passer, Allen is without a doubt more dangerous as a ball carrier. In fact, no other quarterback in the league comes close to the seventh overall selection of this year’s draft when it comes to production on the ground: he has carried the football 75 times this season for 506 yards and six touchdowns.
