Theoretically set up for a big game against Panthers defense that lacks pass rush and doesn't blitz at high rate. However, the source expects Bills to lean heavily on running the ball rather than pass, as they're not worried about Panthers run defense and will aim to get out in front early. This limits Allen's ceiling despite the favorable matchup; the source notes Allen rarely brings teammates along in high-volume passing games due to the Bills' balanced approach, limiting ceiling upside for pass-catchers.
