Appreciation Deluxe: Bills go with Josh Allen "All-in" - closely related

Since Sean McDermott has taken over the Buffalo Bills as Head Coach in 2017, the franchise from the US state of New York is correctly upwards - which in addition to the sporting achievements of the coach (after 1999 play-off participations again 2018, 2020, 2021) is closely related to the quarterback position. The Josh Get Allen in the NFL Draft 2018 in the 1st Round 7th place all meets all quality standards of a modern team.

And that has been shown to everyone in the last (Corona) season: the native Californian has prevailed highly managed in his first two years, clever and above all robust presented, the explosion is last. With strong 4544 passing yards, 37 passing touchdowns and another eight rushing touchdowns at only ten interceptions played all his best regular season (record in this combination) - and is with his colleagues after a 27:24 against the Indianapolis Colts in the Wild Card Round as well as a 17: 3 against the Baltimore Ravens in the Division only failed in the AFC Final to the Kansas City Chiefs around Patrick Mahomes (24:38).

Allen even ranks in front of Mahomes

Clear that all Buffalo now dreams of the very big litter, the Super Bowl in the next few years. And just as the nightmare of age days wants to take off, when the bills in the seasons in 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993 each won the AFC and at the same time have set the large final in the sand every time (unique so far in the NFL). The man of hope: playmakers all who clarified in the weeks ago that this franchise is special for him: "This is a place that I nurnate home - I love it here!"

That's why the bosses have now made nails with heads and tied the 25-year-old long term. His previous contract actually only ran until 2022, but now there was the extension up to 2028. ESPN insider Adam Schefter writes that alls contract is difficult to contrain $ 258 million - 150 million US dollars guaranteed (maximum still before the Guaranteed $ 141.5 million for Chiefs-Ass Mahomes). The quarterback is thus the first player of the 2018 quarterback rieg, which is largely collapsed. In the near future, Ravens-Star Lamar Jackson and Browns leader Baker Mayfield is likely to follow.
