Summary

Allen is dealing with a right ankle injury, with the Bills securing playoff seed.
Mitchell Trubisky took over quarterback duties against the Jets.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was notably absent for most of their Week 18 matchup against the New York Jets. This decision was made to protect him from further injury as he is currently managing a right ankle issue.

Allen participated in only the very first snap of the game, handing the ball off to running back James Cook. This brief appearance was solely to extend his impressive streak of consecutive games started to 136. Following this, Mitchell Trubisky took over as the team's signal-caller.

The Bills had already secured their playoff position, with their final seeding determined by their Week 18 performance but not significantly impacted by Allen's presence. The team prioritized Allen's health for the upcoming postseason, a move that proved effective as they comfortably defeated the Jets with Trubisky at the helm.
