Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, has been experiencing a rough stretch of games lately. He has thrown an interception in each of his last six games, tying the streak set by Ryan Fitzpatrick in 2011.

This is not a record that Allen wants to be associated with, as interceptions can greatly affect a team’s chances of winning.
During the Bills’ recent game against the Denver Broncos, Allen was picked off early in the first quarter. He attempted to connect with wide receiver Gabriel Davis, but the pass was not secured and ended up in the hands of Broncos defensive back Justin Simmons.

This interception prevented the Bills from putting points on the board and negatively impacted their momentum. By the end of the first quarter, Allen’s passing stats were not impressive.
He had completed only 5 out of 9 passes for a total of 43 yards, with no touchdowns. This lackluster performance is a reflection of the up-and-down nature of the Bills’ season as a whole.
They have had their share of turnovers and struggles, but they have also had moments of success, such as their victory over the Miami Dolphins.
Overall, it has been a challenging season for Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. They have had to navigate through difficult games and deal with the pressure of high expectations.
Despite this recent interception streak, Allen has shown flashes of his potential and can bounce back.
It will be interesting to see how he performs in the coming games and if he can break free from this interception slump.
