STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Allen elite in playoffs; defensive scheme change aims to fix playoff losses.

Allen has been the number one quarterback statistically in the playoffs since 2020; the Bills' playoff losses have not been due to Allen's performance but rather defensive breakdowns allowing 33, 32, 27, 27, 42, and 38 points—never fewer than 27. The new aggressive defensive scheme under Jim Leonard is designed to address this weakness.
