Buffalo Rumblings on Josh Allen
From the article
Lost in the greatest of quarterback Josh Allen and the Bills expectedly-productive passing attack in 2026 is that it has come with it a strong performance for the unit against the blitz.
STACKED’s take
Allen's blitz EPA per drop back jumped from 14th to 2nd; faces critical test vs. Ravens and Vikings.
Josh Allen's performance against the blitz has improved dramatically from 2025 to 2026 under offensive coordinator Joe Brady's system. In 2025, Allen ranked 21st in success rate, 27th in CPOE, 19th in adjusted completion percentage, 30th in off-target throw rate, and 14th in EPA per drop back against the blitz (among 41 QBs with 50+ drop backs). In 2026, those metrics have jumped to 4th in success rate, 9th in CPOE, 9th in adjusted completion percentage, 14th in off-target throw rate, and 2nd in EPA per drop back. The source notes this improvement is one of the most notable differences in the Bills offense in 2026 and comes at an opportune time as Buffalo faces two blitz-heavy teams (Baltimore at 36.5% blitz rate, Minnesota at 73.9%) over the next two weeks.
