Many Buffalo Bills understandably get worried whenever superstar quarterback Josh Allen rushes the football, but the 26-year-old has no intentions of cutting back.
The star dual-threat quarterback has rushed for 2,381 yards and 32 touchdowns through 62 career games. The Bills’ 2018 first-round pick had 56 yards on the ground to go along with one rushing TD in the team’s Week 1 blowout win over the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams.
Appearing on “Kyle Brandt’s Basement” earlier this week, Allen was shown the following tweet from a Bills fan who expressed worries over him running the ball late in the game.
Allen had a hilarious reaction to the tweet, stating that “it’s not necessary, but it’s football.” Allen cited the need to melt the clock and keep it moving as opposed to throwing an incomplete pass.
Teams usually take their starting quarterback out of the game when it’s essentially out of reach. Buffalo held a 31-10 point lead with seven minutes left when they got the ball back from the Rams following a Matthew Stafford interception to Boogie Basham , but head coach Sean McDermott kept his star QB in anyway.

Last season, Allen rushed for a career-high 763 yards and six touchdowns on 122 carries. He rushed for over 500 yards in three of his first four NFL seasons. Running is a big part of Allen’s game, and Bills fans ultimately just have to hope that he keeps himself healthy and upright with the style of play.
Allen is widely regarded as the front-runner to win the 2022 NFL MVP award, and his Bills are viewed as the Super Bowl 57 favorites.
The Wyoming product will try to lead his team to a 2-0 start when they host the Tennessee Titans on one of two ESPN Monday Night Football Games in Week 2. As for the Rams, they’ll look to avoid a disastrous 0-2 start when they host the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
