Allen’s issues under pressure are largely ignored by Bills fans but it’s one of the biggest differentiators between him and Mahomes. This was never on better display than the last Bills possession against us in the last game.
On three consecutive plays Allen was an unmitigated disaster on all three, as he tried to give the game away.
On first down he threw a hospital ball to Diggs who was fortunate to not catch it. On second down he threw a perfect pick 6 to Sneed but McDuffie had a “great” pass break up on that one. Then on third down he ran it immediately after dropping back to pass and fumbled the ball which at minimum should have been a Chiefs recovery and was close to a fumble return for a TD.
Then of course a few plays later he missed the obvious pass to Diggs crossing right in front of him which at minimum ends with the Bills kicking a game tying field goal as time comes close to exiting.
Mahomes doesn’t make even one of those mistakes in the tightest moments, let alone all four on one drive. We all saw him double clutch in the Super Bowl at the end as the play called had potential but also was not smart in the situation.
