The Buffalo Bills will head into the bye week losers of two straight after a rough loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. The Bills' offense put up just 14 points as the Falcons made it nearly impossible for Josh Allen to find an open receiver. Allen completed just 15 passes and was sacked four times.

Bills fans held their breath after one of those four sacks, as Allen was clearly had pain in his hand after getting back to his feet. The reigning MVP was asked about his health after the game, to which he said he is completely fine.

Allen was asked if he hurt his hand in the first half, via Dan Fetes, to which he simply replied, "No." When asked if he was completely healthy? "Yes."

The frustration is also very evident with Allen. The Bills need to take the bye week to address the issues they have at receiver and on the defensive side of the ball. The AFC is as open as it has been in the Allen era - they need to make moves to gear up for the rest of the season and a playoff run.
