Josh Allen usually good vs blitz

A breakdown of the AFC title game from Sheil Kapadia and Ted Nguyen, using TruMedia’s EPA model and research platform to examine how each quarterback fares against different coverages and against the blitz:

“Kansas City kept Allen in check during the first meeting, as he completed 14 of 27 passes for just 122 yards.

In that game, Spagnuolo mixed up his coverages well. But the Chiefs used two-high looks on 18 of Allen’s 31 pass plays. On those plays, Allen was 8-for-15 for 74 yards, averaging 4.93 YPA.

Spagnuolo blitzed Allen 14 times and was effective. Allen produced -0.12 EPA per play against the blitz, which was his second-worst mark of the season. Overall, though, Allen has been excellent against the blitz. When opponents have sent five rushers or more, he has produced 0.31 EPA per play, which ranks second among all starters.”
