Josh Allen humorously reflects on his role in Bills’ victory…
In a remarkable display on Sunday, the Buffalo Bills dominated the Dallas Cowboys with a convincing 31-10 win. What stood out even more was the team’s ability to secure the victory without heavily relying on quarterback Josh Allen.
The primary force behind the Bills’ success was running back James Cook, who delivered an outstanding performance with 179 rushing yards on 25 carries. In addition to his ground game, Cook contributed with two receptions for 42 yards and scored two touchdowns during the game. This relegated Allen to a supporting position, where he completed just 7 out of 15 passes for 94 yards and added 24 rushing yards.
Josh Allen: I feel like the kid on the class project that didn’t do anything and still got an A #BillsMafia @WKBW

Aware of his comparatively subdued contribution, Allen humorously compared himself to “the kid in the class project who didn’t do anything but still got an A” during post-game discussions with reporters. These statistics represent an anomaly for Allen, given his consistent high-performance levels throughout the season, entering the game with 3,447 passing yards in an offense known for its potency. However, his reduced role on this occasion meant that Allen successfully avoided throwing an interception for only the third time this year.
Despite this deviation from his usual numbers, the Bills, now standing at 8-6, have defied expectations and firmly positioned themselves in the playoff race with consecutive victories over the Chiefs and Cowboys. Looking ahead, Allen will undoubtedly need to deliver more stellar performances to sustain the team’s momentum and secure their playoff aspirations.
