Quarterback Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills is one of the most dynamic signal callers in the league. In each of the last four seasons, Allen has posted more than 40 total touchdowns. During 2023 alone, he had 29 passing touchdowns and 15 rushing scores.
But Pittsburgh Steelers safety Eric Rowe suggested he could have the formula for slowing down the Bills dual threat behind center.
“Getting that pressure on him. Obviously, if you let him sit in the pocket, he has arm talent for days, for years,” Rowe told NFL Network’s Mike Yam on NFL Total Access. “He’s mobile. He can run. Getting the pressure on him, getting him flustered [is key]. Going against him every year, he’s a big trash talker. Try to get in his head first. He might not say it flusters him, but it will.
“So, really just, man, getting that pressure on him, just don’t let him sit back there.”
Rowe played in the AFC East with the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins from 2016-22. During that time, his teams faced Allen 10 times, including the postseason. Rowe was active for eight of those contests.
