Tim Graham: Saleh has been masterful at confusing Allen, who has been sacked an astounding 11.3 percent of the time he tried to throw his past three games against the New York Jets. When not playing the Jets since the start of last season, Allen has been sacked on only 3.9 percent of his dropbacks and has averaged two more yards per pass attempt.

But get this: Allen actually has a little more time to throw against New York than other opponents. That means in addition to confusion, the coverage has been tip-top on Buffalo Bills receivers. Problems start with defensive tackles Quinnen Williams and Quinton Jefferson, who have five of the 13 sacks, but also are sensational when they don’t reach Allen.

Behind them are no weak links to exploit and too many playmakers ready to pounce on a mistake — and Allen sure is prone to those.

Joe Buscaglia: It’s more accurate to say the Jets have had Allen’s numbers. The stats over the last two seasons have been damning. Over 2022 and 2023, the Bills have averaged 387 yards per game, 6.1 yards per play, 256.3 passing yards per game, a third-down conversion rate of 49.8 percent and only a 2.7 percent interception per attempt rate.

Against New York, their yards per game are down by 100 to 287, averaging only 4.7 yards per play, 176.7 passing yards per game, their third-down conversion rate drops to 38.5 percent and their interception rate nearly doubles to 4.9 percent per attempt. They are extremely efficient at devising a strategy to make Allen believe Stefon Diggs isn’t available as much as he is, along with a defensive line that can get into the backfield to disrupt his timing and force him into bad decisions and five interceptions over the two losses.

That, along with an inconsistent rushing attack, has led to the Jets being a thorn in Allen’s side.
