Allen, with blood flowing from his nose, ran to the sideline and was examined by trainers in front of the Gatorade table — and not inside the injury tent — for a few minutes.<\/p>\n

“I pulled (the football) when I probably should’ve handed it off,” Allen said. “I tried to throw it and I saw them push, so I decided to tuck it. I don’t know what hit me — it was a knee, it was a hand, it was somebody – and the helmet just kind of came down on the bridge of my nose and just started leaking.”<\/p>\n

Mitchell Trubisky<\/a> came in and immediately completed a 32-yard pass to Josh Palmer<\/a> for a first down. Trubisky then handed off to Ty Johnson<\/a> as Allen’s nose continued to get treatment.<\/p>\n

“Mitch came in there, kind of like a little shift change in hockey or something,” head coach Sean McDermott said. “Josh runs off the field and Mitch goes out on, I think it was a third-down play, and throws a seed in there, throws a dime, and that’s hard to do with no warmups. So credit Mitch for being ready.”<\/p>\n

Allen, with his nose packed with gauze, then jogged back onto the field on the next play to start the second quarter. The drive ended with a 52-yard field goal by Matt Prater<\/a> that gave the Bills a 13-0 lead.<\/p>\n

“We can breathe, so it’s good,” Allen said with a grin after the game, his nose swollen and sporting a black and blue mark.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old Allen had a tough time trying to recall his nose bleeding so much after an injury in a game.<\/p>\n

“No, I mean, last time it was like high school in basketball,” Allen said. “Basketball hit in the nose or something. Yeah, it was a weird one. It’s still kind of going on, but we’ll be all right.”<\/p>\n

Allen sure seemed to be. He wasn’t slowed by the bloody nose, leading the Bills (2-0) to a win against the Jets (0-2) with an efficient, if not eye-popping, performance.<\/p>\n

With the game well in hand and the Bills leading 30-3 with 8:23 left, the defending NFL MVP came out and Trubisky finished. Allen was 14 of 25 for 148 yards and ran for 59 yards on six carries.<\/p>\n

“I take a lot of pride in it, being able to withstand some of those things,” Allen said of his durability. “And never want to make a living out of it. But yeah, I mean, I take it with a lot of pride.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Allen, with blood flowing from his nose, ran to the sideline and was examined by trainers in front…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":144233,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[6643,1748,49,48,2212,44,514,2208,64354,82],"class_list":["post-144232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-associated-press","tag-buffalo-bills","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-josh-allen","tag-news","tag-nfl","tag-no-minute","tag-regular-season","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=144232"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144232\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/144233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=144232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=144232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=144232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
