Josh Allen – Noteworthy – Injury
QB Josh Allen was sandwiched on a hit that resulted in an injury to his throwing arm elbow Sunday. Allen threw one more pass that was nowhere close to his intended target and at the time of leaving the game, Allen was 10 of 16 for 84 yards before that final pass.
Bills coach Sean McDermott did not give any indication on the severity of the injury to the rookie signal-caller. McDermott was not pleased with the officiating regarding the hit on Allen that he thought was late. While Allen was being tended to by Bills trainers, McDermott was in the middle of the field giving an earful to officials.
“We talk about protecting the quarterback, and I thought it was late,” McDermott explained after the game. “But at the end of the day, the officials rule over the game, and they obviously didn’t. So, I just wanted to make sure that the quarterback was protected.”
Nathan Peterman – Noteworthy
QB Nathan Peterman came in for injured QB Josh Allen Sunday. He promptly threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver Zay Jones, who beat Texans cornerback Shareece Wright on a double move for a 16-yard touchdown. After that touchdown, the Texans defense settled down and went to work on Peterman, confusing him with coverage. After the touchdown pass, Peterman was 4 of 9 for 39 yards and two interceptions.
