This angle of Josh Allen's TD to Khalil Shakir is actually unbelievable image

There are probably only a few quarterbacks in the history of the NFL who would've even thought about making this throw.

Mind you, not actually spun the laces and let it rip into a space and a window and a movement like this. Just even had the thought that maybe a football, in a crazy scenario, could be put into that spot.

And then you take those few QBs, the few that actually would think about it, and maybe a couple actually try it. They try a throw that, when viewed from almost every camera angle, seems pretty much impossible.

Rolling to the right, receiver fading back into the end zone, defenders closing from every direction possible. Essentially, no opening, threading a pass through the eye of a needle.

Maybe it's unfair to every other QB in the history of the planet to say that Josh Allen is the only one who actually completes this throw.

But maybe not.

Because this throw, when you view it from this angle below, a touchdown to Khalil Shakir in the Buffalo snow, is unfathomably brilliant.

There's one thing that was working in Allen's favor here: It was fourth down, and the Bills needed four yards.

He didn't have room to run, so he had to throw the ball somewhere. An interception would amount to the same thing as taking a sack or throwing an incompletion, just a turnover via INT rather than a turnover on downs.

So Allen knew he could let it rip. And with his most reliable target Shakir somehow slithering in between all those defenders, it couldn't have worked out any better, no matter how crazy it may have seemed.
