If the thought that a stinger would keep Josh Allen out of the season finale against the Miami Dolphins, think again.
In addition to the fact that he hasn’t missed a start since his rookie season, the Buffalo Bills quarterback told reporters Wednesday that he’s “ready to go” for the AFC East naming game.
Allen was injured in the last game he played in the Bills’ 27-21 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday. To finish the game well, Buffalo needed one more first down, and Allen did it on a 4-yard run.
In doing so, he was hit in the neck. Backup Kyle Allen got into the game for the final two shots.
“[Allen is] still sore. We’ll continue to take it one day at a time,” head coach Sean McDermott told reporters. “But I anticipate him playing.”
The Bills (10-6) have forced the issue by reeling off four consecutive wins, while the Dolphins (11-5) have stumbled to close the season. Whoever wins the game will not only win the division but also capture the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs.
Miami will make the playoffs no matter what, but the Bills will need a lot to accomplish the same goal if they lose. Buffalo has won the AFC East the past three seasons.
“We’ve talked about this for the last five, six weeks of how our season can go and what we want to do and what we want to accomplish,” Allen said. “And everything that we want to accomplish is still in front of us. But again, it’s going to take a group effort … to go get a victory on Sunday in a hostile environment.”
