Big numbers but no win in opener Allen completed 30 of 51 passes for 270 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Bills' 23-16 loss to the Steelers on Sunday. He also rushed nine times for 44 yards and... Impact While Allen's numbers certainly were appealing from a fantasy perspective, they came up short in the real-world context due to the Bills consistently failing to cash in drives with touchdowns. Allen and his offensive teammates did appear to be building some momentum late in the first half when he hit Gabriel Davis for a nifty three-yard touchdown pass, but Buffalo's two second-half scoring marches culminated in Tyler Bass field goals. Allen did display his usual strong chemistry with Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley, hitting his top duo a combined 17 times for 129 yards, and he and the Bills will look to atone for the Week 1 stumble Week 2 against the Dolphins on the road.
