Bills QB Allen Returns After Bloody Nose Leads 30-10 Win Jets

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen briefly left the game against the New York Jets after suffering a bloody nose from a hit to the face in the first quarter but returned after missing only two plays, helping lead the Bills to a 30-10 victory and improving their record to 2-0. Allen described the injury as a result of an awkward contact involving a knee, hand, or helmet striking the bridge of his nose, causing immediate bleeding, but emphasized that he could still breathe and was otherwise fine. Backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky stepped in during Allen's absence and completed a crucial 32-yard pass, showcasing his readiness and composure without a warmup. Despite the injury, Allen's performance remained effective with 148 passing yards and 59 rushing yards, and he confirmed his status for upcoming games remains uncertain but likely positive. The Bills dominated the Jets with strong rushing and defense, while the Jets struggled offensively, including the injury of their quarterback Justin Fields who did not return after leaving the game. Allen's toughness and Trubisky's support were highlighted as key factors in maintaining momentum despite the scare.
