The Bills have their new offensive play caller. After reportedly interviewing a few outside candidates in the last several days, Buffalo came back to the man who has coached the team’s quarterbacks for the last three seasons naming Ken Dorsey their new offensive coordinator.
Dorsey, who also served as the team’s passing game coordinator since 2019, has been instrumental in Josh Allen’s development in a Bills uniform. Coming off Allen’s breakout 2020 season in which he finished second in league MVP voting, Dorsey capably assisted Allen in taking another step in his development.
Buffalo’s franchise quarterback put up comparable production in 2021 to that of a season ago. Allen also demonstrated better control of his emotions allowing him to operate like a cold-blooded assassin in the playoffs.
Through the first two weeks of the postseason, Allen had a league-leading completion rate of 77.4 percent. He was tops in the league in passer rating (149), number one in touchdown percentage (14.5%), first in touchdown passes (9) and had no interceptions.
Allen clearly recognizes and respects the impact that Dorsey has had on his development as an NFL signal caller.
“I think when he got here three years ago, my career definitely changed in terms of how I viewed the game of football,” said Allen of Dorsey. “Just having a guy in the quarterback room that played the game, was the winningest college quarterback of all time. He was 38-2. He’ll never let me forget that. He says it all the time, but just the way he approaches the game. He’s competitive. He’s smart. He works his a** off. I appreciate what he’s done for me over the course of my career so far.”
