Josh Allen is a different player when the stakes are highest. His 32 playoff touchdowns to 4 interceptions prove he thrives when the lights brighten.

This means Allen must beat them through the air, and Jacksonville’s pass rush will be waiting. It’s a classic chess match: the Bills’ elite offensive mind versus Jacksonville’s shutdown secondary and front seven.
