NFL Announces Punishment Over Josh Allen Incident on Saturday

The Buffalo Bills, led by quarterback Josh Allen and head coach Sean McDermott, are looking to earn a victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

After beginning the season with four straight wins and a loss to the New England Patriots, all eyes are on Buffalo’s matchup against the Falcons so the Bills can stay afloat at the top of the AFC East.

In their last matchup against the Patriots, Allen was involved in a controversial incident.

Patriots defensive tackle Cory Durden was flagged in the fourth quarter for a hit on the quarterback in the head/neck area. The play ultimately cost Durden $5,722 after the league reviewed the play.

Durden’s punishment was announced by the NFL for unnecessary roughness in the Week 5 fines list.

Josh Allen wound up finishing the matchup against the New England Patriots with two touchdowns and 253 yards with a 71.0 completion percentage.

So far this season, Allen has posted nine touchdowns and 1,217 yards. He’s also made an impact on the ground with three touchdowns and 212 rushing yards.
