Yahoo Sports NFL on Josh Allen

Allen's 130.5 rating and dual-threat upside require Lions to blitz and disrupt his tempo.

Allen completed 20-of-29 passing attempts for 334 yards and two passing touchdowns (130.5 passer rating) in Week 1 against the Texans' elite defense, and also ran six times for 23 yards and two more touchdowns. Lions coach Dan Campbell stated: "Ultimately, I don't care what they throw at us; the quarterback is the key to all of this. And if we don't make him go the long hard way every time, it can get very difficult." The source predicts the Lions will use blitzes and defensive disguise to disrupt Allen's tempo and aggressiveness, with Christian Izien returning as the preferred nickel starter to provide aggressive pressure.
