Should be a good game as Allen and the Bills offense face a determined defense
Josh Allen He has shown both sides so far in the incipient season. In the first game, the quarterback of the Buffalo Bills He showed himself as the player with the most turnovers in the NFL since 2018 by turning over possession four times in the loss to the Jets. Less than a week later he looked like the perennial MVP candidate with a performance of three touchdown passes and 84% of his passes completed in the victory against Las Vegas.
Which Josh Allen will be presented on Sunday during the visit of Buffalo to the house of the undefeated Washington Commanders?
Los Bills (1-1), winners of the AFC East title the last three seasons, are just 30-21 when Allen turns a ball over, and the record drops dramatically to 10-14 when mistakes occur in the second half. of the parties. Against an undefeated team of Washington (2-0) who already has four steals this season, Allen has no room for error.

Los Commanders seek their first 3-0 start since 2005 thanks to a revitalized attack and defensive duo Montez Sweat y Jonathan Allen, whose 20 quarterback pressures are the fifth most in the entire NFL for a couple of colleagues.
The defense of WashingtonHowever, she had already shown signs of her talent in previous seasons, ranking among the top seven in two of the last three campaigns. The difference this time is an attack that averages 27.5 points per game, thanks largely to the inexperienced passer Sam Howellwho has not known defeat in three starts as a professional.
Howell will have the task of keeping up with a potent offense, as long as Allen shows his best side. But it will be up to Washington’s defense to make sure they see the worst side of the quarterback’s Bills.
“This is one of the elite teams that comes home, and we have to be prepared, we have to train, prepare, be ready and give ourselves a good opportunity to see where we stand,” said the coach of the Commanders Ron Rivera.
STEELERS (1-1) at LAS VEGAS (1-1)
From wherever you look at it, the offensive of the Steelers It is, well, offensive. And not in a good way. They are second to last in the league in yards, have just two touchdowns in two games, are last in the NFL in first downs and time of possession, rank 31st among 32 teams in rushing and have just two trips to the last 20 rival’s yards.
But Pittsburghin some way, already has a victory this season, and that victory has the signature of its defense on all sides.
Monday night before Clevelandlos Steelers They became the first team since the Patriots of 2019 to record six sacks, four steals and two defensive touchdowns in the same game. Furthermore, the linebackers T.J. Watt y Alex Highsmith They became the first duo to achieve a quarterback takedown and a touchdown in the same game since 1982.
If the problems for the marshal Kenny Pickett they continue, the only hope of the Steelers Sunday night at Las Vegas is to replicate the formula.
Los Raiders They are not exactly an example of offensive production, they are placed third to last in the NFL total yards, total points, pass attempts and rushing yards, in addition to accumulating four turnovers. But when you have weapons of the caliber of the receiver Davante Adams and the runner Josh Jacobs, A change of course can come at any time.
The first item on the agenda of the Raiders It’s taking care of the ball. Las Vegas lost possession of the ball three times in the 38-10 loss to Buffalo last week. And although the quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo He has not been sacked so far this season, nor has he received much support from his running offense, as made clear by the -2 yards that Jacobs accumulated in just nine attempts against the Bills.
COWBOYS (2-0) in ARIZONA (0-2)
The good news for Dallas Cowboys is that last week they became just the fifth team in the Super Bowl era to score at least 70 points and allow 10 or fewer in their first two games of the season, joining the Patriots of 2019, the Lions of 1970, the Raiders of 1967 and the Oilers of 1966. The bad news is that none of them won the Super Bowl and only the Raiders They reached the duel for the championship.
But the Cowboys They seek to leave history where it belongs for the moment and focus on the present. After a couple of defensive displays in which they have stolen seven balls, allowed just one touchdown and accumulated 10 sacks, they are looking in the Cardinals to his next victim.
According to the betting houses, Arizona They are not favorites in any game this season and last week they let go of a golden opportunity to blow that statistic when they blew a 21-point lead in the second half.
