Josh Allen is the New Interception King
What is wrong in Buffalo right now? The Buffalo Bills sit at 5-5 and have a very difficult schedule through the end of the year. But what is the reason for the downward trajectory in Orchard Park? I’ve seen Bills fans complaining about the coaching. I think that is a valid complaint. And at this point it looks like Sean McDermott and Ken Dorsey’s time in Buffalo is coming to an end. But the bigger problem is the quarterback. And specifically the interceptions. I am dubbing Josh Allen the new Interception King of the NFL. And in doing so I am removing Dak Prescott of the dubious honor. The interceptions against the Broncos were back breaking and arguably cost the Bills the game. Josh Allen is the new Interception King, and the data confirms this.
So far this season Josh Allen has thrown 11 interceptions, which leads the NFL.
His 13 total turnovers is also the most by any player in the league this season. But this is a trend that has been showing itself for the last couple of years. Even through all of the good. Last season Josh Allen accounted for 17 interceptions which was tied for the league lead in 2022. And since Josh Allen has entered the league no player has more than his 93 turnovers. The 93 turnovers is more than one turnover per game for Allen who has played in 87 games. There is no doubt that Josh Allen can make plays with his arm that few other quarterbacks can make. But there has to be a higher importance on protecting the football.
