3. Josh Allen learning how to balance risk and reward

Bills quarterback Josh Allen has helped to engineer comeback efforts in each of the team's first three games to secure victories. There have also been a few instances where Allen has tried to do too much and by his own admission has been careless with the football.

Coach McDermott sees it as a learning process for Allen in balancing risk and reward.

"He's just got to do his job and part of doing his job in this case is taking care of the football," he said. "Through the course of the game he made a lot of special plays. So that's all part of the growth and development of a young quarterback."

Through three games, for all the good that Allen has done for his team, he has also thrown three interceptions and lost a pair of fumbles.

Buffalo's head coach recognizes that Allen's athleticism gives him the ability to extend plays when they do not initially unfold as they're designed. As much as that can aid and assist the execution of the offense, there is a discipline to a quarterback's decision making that must be omnipresent.
