Buffalo Rumblings on Josh Allen
From the article
Josh Allen vs. Texans in 2025 Not Blitzed: 19/28, 186 yards (6.6 YPA), 0/2 TD/INT, 56.5 rating; Blitzed: 5/6, 67 yards (11.2 YPA), 0/0 TD/INT, 113.2 rating. Allen's 105.4 quarterback rating against no-blitz plays ranked third-best in the entire NFL.
STACKED’s take
Allen's 56.5 rating vs. Texans no-blitz plays was anomalous; season-long no-blitz rating ranks third at 105.4.
Allen's performance vs. the Texans in Week 12 was heavily split by blitz vs. no-blitz scenarios. Against no-blitz plays, he posted a 56.5 rating (19/28, 186 yards, 0 TDs/1 INT); against blitz, he posted a 113.2 rating (5/6, 67 yards, 0 TDs/0 INTs). The Texans blitzed on just 15.2% of his 39 drop-backs yet pressured him 43.5% of the time, with seven of eight sacks coming without a blitz. Despite this Week 12 struggle, Allen's season-long rating against no-blitz defenses ranks third in the NFL at 105.4; removing the Texans game, that rating jumps to 110.4. The source emphasizes that the Bills' strategy must be anchored in not expecting extra rushers, as Houston's straight-forward, pin-your-ears-back scheme relies on coverage and interior pressure rather than exotic blitzing.
