From the article

Allen's 1-4 career mark against Houston, including a 22-19 overtime playoff loss in his second season, is the worst head-to-head record he has against any team he's faced so often. His 74 quarterback rating is significantly lower than his career total (94.4), and he completes just 52% of his passes against Houston compared to nearly 64% overall for his career.

NeutralMatchup

Allen's 1-4 record vs. Houston tied to longer time-to-throw; quick game critical to success.

Allen's career record vs. Houston is 1-4, his worst head-to-head mark against any frequent opponent, with a 74 QB rating (vs. 94.4 career average) and 52% completion rate (vs. 64% career). In four of five matchups, he averaged 2.8+ seconds to throw; Buffalo lost all four. The one win came when his time-to-throw was lowest at 2.62 seconds. In recent losses (2024: 3.05 seconds, 9-of-30 completions; last season: 2.79 seconds, 8 sacks), Allen eschewed quick throws for lower-percentage deep shots, particularly in 2024 when he appeared motivated to prove he could succeed without Stefon Diggs.
