One of the biggest differences for Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, dating back to the start of last year, was the number of times he was asked to put the Superman cape on.
Now tasked with keeping the car on the road and not doing too much, the offense has flourished, but just because he hasn't needed to put the cape on doesn't mean he can't.
Against the New Orleans Saints in a 31-19 win, things were close in the fourth quarter until Allen took over and willed his team into the endzone. For NFL.com's Michael Baca, when push came to shove, No. 17 wasn't going to be denied late.
“There was a slight scare in Buffalo as the winless Saints were game for a road upset, but that's until Josh Allen single-handedly took over in the fourth quarter,” Baca wrote. “Allen (16 of 22 for 209 yards, three total TDs) threw his first interception of the season to prompt that frustrating second quarter, but there was no stopping him in crunch time.”

Who do Bills play in Week 5?
Now sitting pretty at 4-0, the Bills will face the New England Patriots at Highmark Stadium as Sean McDermott's team looks to put even more separation between themselves and the rest of the AFC East.
The Patriots are the only team to win a game in 2025, with the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins playing on Monday Night Football, so one of them will add their first win, but the Patriots have two and are the closest challengers to Buffalo.
Win in Week 5, the gap grows wider.
There aren't too many people, if any, who think the Bills won't win the division again, but they might win it sooner than many expect if their form line continues.
