Browns vs. Bills

(in Detroit), 1 p.m.,

Ch. 7, 12; 700, 1530, 102.7, 104.7 the quarterbac­k draft class of 2018. They would also say they see enough of one in the other to use them as comparison­s in their preparatio­ns.

“Of course, there’s difference­s,” linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-koramoah said. “You don’t necessaril­y just see run plays for Josh Allen, right? Most of the stuff is just scrambling. With Lamar, there’s actual run plays set up for him. But, yeah, you can take little things from him. You have to be patient. You can’t automatica­lly jump when they pump-fake the ball or you can’t necessaril­y be too quick to think or too quick to move.”

If there is one Achilles heel for Allen, it’s in the intercepti­ons he throws. His 10 picks are the most by any NFL starting quarterbac­k in the league.

The last three games, in particular, have been bad for Allen. He’s had three consecutiv­e games with two picks, with Buffalo having lost the last two to the Jets and, in overtime, the Vikings.

In fact, the second intercepti­on Allen threw against Minnesota came in the end zone in overtime to seal the Bills’ 33-30 loss.

“Yeah, he’s given away the ball,” linebacker Sione Takitaki said. “He tries to extend a lot of plays, so he’s trying to make plays, and when our opportunit­y is there we just got to make them. But, yeah, it’s definitely something that we’re aware of and something we want to capitalize on.”
