The Buffalo Bills may struggle if starting quarterback Josh Allen is injured, as backup Kyle Allen is ranked as the 29th best in the league, according to Sports Illustrated. This ranking places the Bills among the lowest in the NFL for backup quarterbacks. Kyle Allen, who has played for multiple teams, replaced Mitch Trubisky this offseason and has limited starting experience.
