Over the last eight years, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has transformed himself into one of the strongest players in the league. The current MVP led his Bills to another convincing win on Thursday night against the struggling Miami Dolphins to continue their strong start to the season.
Responding on Friday's episode of "The Herd", Colin Cowherd reflected on the start to the season that Allen has had
"2025 Josh Allen shouldn't exist. You should not be that gifted, that fast, that talented, jump over linebackers. Yet he never throws interceptions."
At this point of time, Allen is possibly the best quarterback in the league. His performance against the Dolphins was another reason for it. He threw for 213 yards and three touchdowns in the comprehensive win.
One of these touchdowns was a skillful and creative pass to Jackson Hawes in a play that only the best quarterback can execute.
The lack of interceptions also shows the development of the player. A few seasons ago (2022 and 2023, to be precise), intercepted passes were a common sight for Allen. Two years later, they are something that is rarely seen, and Allen is playing some of the best football in his career.
Josh Allen on the touchdown pass he threw to Jackson Hawes
After executing his role in the Buffalo Bills win over the Miami Dolphins, Josh Allen interacted with the media about his touchdown pass to Jackson Hawes.
"Yeah, just extending the play, a little naked action. [Hawes] did a good job of just staying in concert with me and just got the corner there. I think it was just cool to just kind of commit one way, and he stayed alive for me and made a play."
For Allen, this play was another example of using his football intelligence to find the endzone when his team requires it.
However, this has a bigger impact for Hawes, a relatively unknown tight end who the Bills drafted this year. This was the third reception for Hawes in his young career and the first touchdown.
