Bills quarterback Josh Allen hurts hand in win vs. Cardinals - ESPN
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen's second rushing touchdown Sunday was a leaping effort into the end zone over Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker that put the team up by two scores in the fourth quarter, but the landing appeared to leave Allen with a left hand injury.
After leaping over Baker, Allen put his hands around the football to brace for impact as defensive lineman Justin Jones tried to push the quarterback from falling into the end zone. As a result, Allen landed with his left hand around the ball and underneath him.
«The first rushing touchdown, I kind of lowered the shoulder, knowing that was a corner,» Allen said. «Second time, I knew it was Budda, and Budda's a good player and he'll lay the boom on you, so I decided to go up and over, but probably can't make a living doing that, but here we are.»
The Bills went on to recover from a 17-3 deficit with less than three minutes remaining in the first half to win 34-28.
Allen's left hand and wrist were wrapped by athletic trainers on the sideline after the score, and he played the remainder of the game. He said afterward that his hand was «fine.» When asked whether he would be getting X-rays, Allen said, «Well, probably, yeah, don't know yet.» After the game and his news conference, Allen briefly went into the X-ray room at the stadium. He did not have his hand wrapped in the postgame locker room.
«Again, we'll find out — I'm not quite sure,» Allen said. «I'm not a doctor. But just kind of landed on it, I guess.»
The Bills have a quick turnaround with a trip to the Miami Dolphins for «Thursday Night Football» in Week 2. Coach Sean McDermott said in his postgame news conference that he did not have enough information to give an update on
