The Buffalo Bills defeated the New York Jets in a Week 2 matchup of AFC East foes. It wasn't the end result that held the attention of fans, though, as it was never in question. Rather, it was the health of Bills quarterback Josh Allen that everyone was concerned about.
Allen left the game after taking a hit to the nose that caused immediate heavy bleeding. While he came back in, he was constantly drying blood from his nose throughout the rest of the afternoon. Speaking to the media after the win, Allen provided a positive update on his injury.
"We can breathe, so it's good," Allen said via Matt Parrino. "I pulled [the ball] when I probably should have handed it off. I tried to throw it and I saw him push, decided to tuck it. I don't know what hit me, if it was a knee, a hand, it was somebody. [A] helmet just kind of came down right on the bridge of my nose and just started leaking."
Allen went back into the game and led the Bills to a dominant win over the Jets, and the Bills are no 2-0 as they get set for a Thursday night matchup against the 0-2 Miami Dolphins - a game that could be the kill shot in Miami's season should Buffalo win.
