Allen was injured and missed four games in his rookie campaign in 2018 and has started every game since Week 2 of 2018. With the exception of Philip Rivers, who has technically started 255 consecutive games, including playoff games and not counting four-plus years of retirement, that is the longest streak of consecutive starts by an NFL QB.
His regular-season rushing yards trail only Atlanta Falcons offensive lineman Jake Matthews (199) and Chicago Bears defensive end Kevin Byard (162).
Chances are, Allen’s start will essentially be a role before handing over the playmaking duties to Mitchell Trubisky. Allen played just one snap in the regular season finale last season.
Allen and the Bills (11-5) kick off against the Jets at 4:25 PM ET on Sunday.
