How much will Josh Allen influence Giants' decision on their starting quarterback

Did Josh Allen push the Giants toward considering a change at quarterback?

If the team decides to bench Eli Manning in favor of rookie Daniel Jones, there is a good chance Allen’s performance on Sunday against the Giants gave them a nudge in that direction. It wasn’t so much what the second-year quarterback for the Bills did with his arm, but what he did with his legs.

Pat Shurmur, at several points since the completion of the 28-14 loss, seemed impressed by Allen’s ability to move outside the pocket and was particularly enamored by Allen’s 6-yard touchdown dash on a designed run from the shotgun formation.
