Josh Allen's average depth of target through two games is 10.5 yards, tied for third among all quarterbacks and the highest aDOT since his rookie season, a significant jump from his 7.8-yard aDOT in 2025 (11th-lowest among 45 qualifying passers). Under Joe Brady's system, Allen is deploying his arm strength at full potential with 16.7% of attempts on 20-plus air yards (up from 11.5% last regular season), completing 5-of-10 deep throws for 198 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. Per Anthony Prohaska of Cover 1, 47.1% of Allen's throws have been made beyond the first down marker, the second-highest of his career. Brady is utilizing play action at a 47.1% clip through two games, the highest in the NFL, enabling Allen's pedal-to-the-floor aerial attack to generate 36 points against Houston and 41 at home against the Lions.
