Buffalo trailed the Cincinnati Bengals 20-0 at halftime at New Era Field, but more important to the franchise and fans was the health of rookie quarterback Josh Allen.

The seventh pick in the 2018 NFL Draft was taken to the locker room after hitting his head hard on the turf during the second quarter of Sunday’s game.

Up until that time, Allen had completed 6 of 12 pass attempts for 34 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. He had been sacked five times for a loss of 39 yards.

Nathan Peterman took over when the second half begins.
