Allen's pressure-to-sack rate returns to elite 13.9% after early-season dip.

Josh Allen's elite sack-evasion ability has returned to form in 2026 after a concerning start. His pressure-to-sack rate through six games is 13.9%, nearly identical to his career average of 13.7% and well below the 20% threshold that indicates struggle. After posting 18.6% in 2025 (28th among 45 qualifiers) and opening 2026 with rates of 16.7%, 11.8%, and 33.3% in the first three games, Allen has since posted 7.1%, 9.1%, and 7.7% in his last three outings against New England, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. The source notes that Allen's sack-evasion prowess—his ability to conjure elusiveness inside and outside the pocket to escape dire situations—has been the defining skill of his elite tenure, and its restoration after early-season concerns suggests his performance trajectory remains intact despite speculation about decline and a potential knee injury in Week 3.
