It’s just the preseason... but Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen looked really good on Friday night against the Carolina Panthers.

The second-year QB completed 9-of-11 passes for 102 yards against Carolina’s first-team defense. Five of Allen’s passes went to slot receiver Cole Beasley. Beasley caught every ball thrown his way, much like he has during training camp, for 44 yards. Rookie Tommy Sweeney also played a big role in Allen’s night. The seventh round pick hauled in two passes for 47 yards as he likely sealed his spot on Buffalo’s 53-man roster.

Box Score

Allen showed plenty of accuracy and touch during his time on the field and he had plenty of people in the media talking. What did the national media think of Allen’s play? Here are a few reactions.
