Bills OC Brady not worried by INT issues: 'Allen is the best QB in the NFL'

Buffalo Bills interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady doesn't sound concerned at all by Josh Allen's turnover issues.

"Give me Josh Allen all day, every day," Brady said Thursday, per the "Pay the Bills" podcast. "When I look in his eyes before every game, there's not a worry in my mind. And I guarantee that's the same mindset for every guy in this locker room. I believe Josh Allen is the best quarterback in the NFL. It excites me that I get the opportunity to call plays with him because I feel like you can look down the play call, and whatever you call, Josh Allen is going to find a way to make it work."

With a 70.3% completion rate, 2,600 passing yards, and 26 scrimmage touchdowns, Allen is among the NFL's most productive quarterbacks this season. However, the 27-year-old has struggled to take care of the ball, having tossed 11 interceptions - the most in the league. Allen has been intercepted in six straight games.

Allen - the Bills' first-round pick in 2018 - finished in the top three in MVP voting twice from 2020-22.

"I have so much love for (Allen)," Brady added. "He's such a competitor, and all I want is for him to have success. ... His mentality, his approach to the game is so much fun."

The Bills tabbed Brady - their quarterbacks coach - to replace former offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, who was fired on Tuesday after a home loss that dropped the team to 5-5. Buffalo has scored 25 or more points in only one game since Week 5. The AFC East club hired him during the 2022 offseason.

Brady previously served as the Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator but was fired midway through his second season with the team in 2021. The 34-year-old originally joined the NFL after a spectacular 2019 college football season at LSU. As the Tigers' passing game coordinator, Brady helped Joe Burrow post one of the sport's greatest individual seasons ever en route to the national title.
