NFL: Josh Allen Has Fewer Interceptions than Two QBs

The Buffalo Bills have a promising matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, hoping to regain their footing after a somewhat inconsistent start to the season. Despite not having confronted the best teams in the league, they find themselves one game behind the 5-2 Miami Dolphins in the AFC East a 4-3 record.

Their recent defeat to the New England Patriots was unexpected, adding to the worries of not performing better than an opponent who had just one victory prior to the game. While Josh Allen has showcased his ability to make incredible plays, his struggles with ball security have been evident, leading to too many turnovers.

Josh Allen has thrown seven interceptions leading into week 8, placing him third in the league, averaging one interception per game. However, there are two well-known quarterbacks who have demonstrated even more issues in this regard: Jimmy Garoppolo and Jalen Hurts, both commanding the league with eight interceptions each.

Allen’s Interceptions Issues

Josh Allen emerges close to the leaders in interceptions in part from a rocky start to the season. Notably, his unfortunate game against the New York Jets in week 1 had him throwing three interceptions in an overtime defeat.

Allen’s inconsistency is apparent as he’s had just two interception-free games out of seven this season. Furthermore, he endured a streak of one interception in three consecutive matches, two of which resulted in defeats.

This figure of seven interceptions is exceeded by only two players in the league, with Garoppolo leading the way having thrown eight interceptions in just five games. Hurts is right alongside him with eight interceptions in seven matchups.
