Josh Allen Delivers Utterly Dominant First Half vs. Jaguars
The Buffalo Bills were firing on all cylinders during the first half against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night. Josh Allen and Co. found the end zone five times before halftime, racking up 34 points and taking a 31-point lead heading into the break.
It was a dominating performance on both sides of the ball. The Bills' defense made life difficult for Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville offense, who recorded just 70 total yards in the first half.
Meanwhile, the Bills had five different touchdown scorers as they put up 288 yards across the first two quarters of play. It only took them five possessions to do all that, as they scored every single time they took control of the ball.
Allen in particular was outstanding. He completed 22 of 28 pass attempts and threw four touchdowns in the first half, leaving NFL fans completely awestruck over what was a near-perfect performance from Buffalo.
The NFL world saluted Allen after his MVP-like performance in prime time.
This is absurd. Josh Allen is on fire.

Josh Allen putting on a clinic. Really showing that he is the reason this Offense is elite. He makes those around him better not vice versa.

Josh Allen has been the best player in the league this season and it hasn’t been very close

Does Josh Allen even play the second half?
— Dan Fetes (@danfetes) September 24, 2024
The way Josh Allen is playing right now is insane.
— Hänsel (@UberHansen) September 24, 2024
Blame the #Jaguars injuries if you want but Josh Allen is putting balls in spots on every play that make you go 🫨
This is insane.
It's either you believe that Josh Allen is the leader in the MVP conversation or you're delusional
