WATCH: Nasty ‘Derrick Henry’ Stiff Arm From Josh Allen as Bills Register a Comfortable Win Against the Rams

Josh Allen’s status as the foundation of a Super Bowl contender is not just due to his incredible arm strength. The Bills’ standout wide receiver capitalizes to the fullest whenever he spots a gap in the open field.

Even though Allen’s running lane is little by the standards of other players, he creates his own space. NBC’s 2022 NFL Kickoff Special featured the Rams and Bills in a very entertaining season-opening matchup. There were some points, lots of turnovers, and one particularly poignant stiff arm from Josh Allen.

Stiff arm from Josh Allen on Rams’ Nick Scott

In the third quarter of the opening game of the season, Allen totally pinned Rams linebacker Nick Scott to the ground with a vicious stiff arm, earning a first down in the process.

Just ask poor Nick Scott, who was the season’s first victim of an Allen stiff arm. Let’s take a look at it from a different angle:

Even though it’s uncommon for running backs to use stiff arms as well as the quarterback of the Buffalo Bills, it happens occasionally. Consider this just one of the many highlights of Allen’s season debut as the Bills would go on to defeat the Super Bowl champions 24-10 thanks to a running score by Josh Allen.
