Yahoo Sports NFL on Josh Allen

Allen leads league in air yards, deep pass rate, and EPA/drop-back in Week 1.

Allen is operating at an elite level early in the season under new head coach Joe Brady's aggressive system. In Week 1 vs. Houston, Allen led the league in air yards per attempt (12.6), deep pass percentage (24.1%), and ranked 3rd in EPA/drop-back (+0.49), completing 11-of-16 passes thrown further than 10 yards. Brady's promotion from offensive coordinator to head coach is enabling Allen's gunslinger tendencies even further, with the team dialing up aggressive plays in unconventional situations (e.g., bomb to D.J. Moore with 18 seconds left in the half from their own 17-yard line).
