JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville’s Josh Allen has 23 quarterback pressures in his last five games. He also returned a fumble 37 yards for a touchdown in the closing minutes to beat Tennessee 20-16 last Saturday and secure the franchise’s second AFC South championship. It was the latest game-altering play for Allen, who has half his six sacks during Jacksonville’s five-game winning streak and was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week on Wednesday. He’s essentially been the dominant force the Jaguars thought they had when they drafted him with the seventh overall pick four years ago and watched him make the Pro Bowl as a rookie.
