The Buffalo Bills chose to rest superstar quarterback Josh Allen for most of their Week 18 matchup against the New York Jets after he took only the opening snap of the game.
The reigning 2024 NFL MVP started the contest, took the first snap, and handed the ball off to running back James Cook, who picked up a 10-yard gain. Moments later, Allen exited the field and was replaced by backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.

The Bills have already clinched a playoff berth, limiting the potential impact of the Week 18 result on their postseason seeding. With little to gain, Buffalo opted to prioritize Allen’s health.
Josh Allen has been managing a right foot/ankle injury that has been aggravated in recent weeks, prompting the coaching staff to limit his workload. However, by starting the game and taking at least one snap, Allen was able to extend his consecutive starts streak before being pulled.
Trubisky took over under center for the remainder of the game as the Bills focused on keeping their franchise quarterback healthy heading into the playoffs.
