Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills started the 2019 season with a four-game winning streak. They suffered back-to-back losses against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tennessee Titans in Week Five and Six. However, they’ve been magnificent ever since.

Coach Sean McDermott guided his team to two consecutive wins over the last two weeks. Today, the Bills extended their winning run to three games with a comprehensive 44-34 win over Russell Wilson-led Seattle Seahawks.

The Bills defense did enough to restrict the enigmatic duo of Russell Wilson and DK Metcalf. However, a lot of the credit for Sunday’s win was down to the stellar display from their franchise quarterback, Josh Allen.
