Read MoreBills Beat: Buffalo making strides to combine youthful talent and veteran leadership
Allen must put together a full, dominant four-quarter performance before he can be crowned the Bills’ franchise quarterback. At times it seems Allen is trying to do too much to win that franchise QB title. In the team’s Week 4 loss against New England, Allen threw three interceptions and took too many avoidable sacks.

Surprisingly enough, the former Buckeye heard the cheer and responded, as one does, by miming the customary “I-O” response with his arms above his head.
