Josh Allen looks like a man on a mission as the Buffalo Bills quarterback has led his side to a perfect 3-0 record to start the season. Except for his rookie season, Allen's team has secured 10+ wins every single season.

Former Cowboys defensive end Domonique Foxworth appeared on the "This is Football" show and discussed Caleb Williams' Chicago Bears' expectations after a 0-2 start.

"I don't know, man. It's pretty unfortunate," Foxworth said. "So the defense they wanna run requires a pretty dominant defensive line, they don't have that ... I don't think the players are bad, the results are bad. I guess the quarterback is ... he's ... I wouldn't say it's good, but nobody else on that offense ... is bad ... They're just collectively pretty terrible."

"Josh Allen ruined the league," Foxworth said. "He's convinced all of you that it's possible to do what he did, to start off rocky and then turn into the best quarterback in football. It ain't gonna happen for the rest of y'all. Him and Stefon Diggs showing up there, the great Maryland Terrapin, because that's what they're thinking."

It's a back-to-back 3-0 start to the season for Josh Allen and the Bills. Last season, they managed a 13-4 record and made it to the AFC Championship game, where they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Meanwhile, Williams and the Bears are still searching for their first win. They lost narrowly to the Minnesota Vikings in the season opener and were dismantled 52-21 by the Lions last week. They will host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon.
