It has been noted that Josh Allen tends to play better in the fourth quarter of games for the Buffalo Bills. Due to his level of play late in games, Dion Dawkins—Buffalo's left tackle—has compared his quarterback to Michael Jordan.
“If you want to go down history lines, fourth quarter starts with J and ends with N, is who? Michael Jordan,” Dawkins said, via Syracuse.com. “He’s just a fourth quarter dude and gets it done. [His name] starts with J and it ends with N. He’s got all of it in one box. And it’s crazy how my mind puts it all together, but Josh Allen has that Jordan feature in him.”
In his second season in the NFL, Allen has completed 59.3 percent of his passes for 2,876 yards, 18 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. The Wyoming product has thrown for 725 yards, eight touchdowns, and zero interceptions in the fourth quarter alone.
To go along with his individual numbers, Allen has led four fourth-quarter comebacks in 2019. Despite his remarkable play in the fourth quarter, it's fair to question the young signal-caller in other areas.
Above all, Allen has been wildly sporadic with his accuracy in his first two seasons in the NFL. Even though he's been inaccurate, Buffalo is 10-4 and has a chance to leapfrog the New England Patriots for the division lead on Sunday if they are able to beat them.
If the game comes down to Allen delivering a game-winning drive, the Bills are confident in their quarterback to win the game. While it's a stretch to compare him to Jordan, Allen has been incredibly clutch for Buffalo this year.
