Josh Allen Excels in PFF Annual Report

Josh Allen's impressive performance is showcased in the 2026 PFF Annual report.

What happened?

The report reveals that Allen and the Bills turned average throws into exceptional value once again last year.

On 335 zero-graded throws, Allen averaged 0.173 EPA per attempt and 6.59 yards per attempt, both the best marks among qualifying starters.

Jared Goff ranked second in EPA per attempt on those throws at 0.090.

Why it matters for Josh Allen

The historical context matters, with quarterbacks near the top of the yards-per-attempt leaderboard on zero-graded throws often being attached to elite offensive ecosystems.

Allen's 6.59 mark belongs in that same conversation, with the Bills' infrastructure also deserving credit for consistently turning ordinary throws into efficient production.

What comes next?

The PFF grading scale runs from -2 to +2 in 0.5-point increments, and a zero grade represents an expected NFL pass.

The report notes that Allen still had to operate the offense, distribute accurately, and avoid turning neutral plays into negative ones.

The Bills' 2025 offense gave Allen one of the most favorable environments of the PFF era.

Davis Mills, Joe Flacco, and Spencer Rattler occupied the bottom of the pool in EPA per attempt on zero-graded throws.

Key statistics

Allen's performance is a testament to his skill, with the Bills quarterback finishing at the top of the leaderboard in EPA per attempt and yards per attempt on zero-graded throws.

The 2026 PFF Annual report provides valuable insights into Allen's game, with the quarterback's ability to make something out of nothing being a key factor in his success.

The report is based on data from the 2025 NFL season, with Allen and the Bills looking to build on their success in the upcoming season.
