Baker Mayfield had another solid outing on Friday night, but it was fellow rookie quarterback Josh Allen who stole the show as the Buffalo Bills beat the host Cleveland Browns 19-17 in a Week 2 preseason game at FirstEnergy Stadium.
Allen, the No. 7 overall pick out of Wyoming, was 9-of-13 for 60 yards with a scoring pass and added 18 yards on three carries. Perhaps more impressive was the impact he had on the entire offense. After starter AJ McCarron led the Bills to four consecutive three-and-outs to open the game, Allen took over and led Buffalo to points on all three of his drives—two field goals and a 2-yard touchdown pass to Rod Streater.
