There’s a three-word phrase that sometimes floats across social media timelines when an NFL quarterback like Josh Allen picks up on an amazing individual play.
“This cowardly man.”
This stems from the fgact that NFL quarterbacks make plays during the game that sometimes border on the impossible. That leaves opposing defenses, defensive coordinators and fans wondering what it will take to slow them down on any given Sunday.
Here’s a moment from Allen himself on the Las Vegas Raiders:
When the Bills faced a 3rd and 8 situation in the red zone, Allen took the shotgun and dropped into the pocket, approximately ten yards behind the line of scrimmage. With the Raiders running just four, the pocket eventually collapses in hard coverage downfield, forcing Allen into scrimmage mode.
After eluding a pair of defenders, he somehow flipped the ball forward — from the 14-yard line — to Keon Coleman a few yards deep in the end zone.
That’s right, a back-handed touchdown pass that covers about 20 yards in the air.
