I want to say every QB in NFL improves his stats on play-action. But maybe no one has the kind of jumps of efficiency like Allen of the Bills (somewhere I read 30% for Allen, 8% for Mahomes etc.). I think it particularly helps our tackles (especially Brown) where DEs have to hesitate a little bit to not fly deep right away.
I do believe the Bills know this very well. Beane, McDermott made a big effort to upgrade both G position and RBs in the offseason to make the running attack a serious threat. You have to make the opponent respect the run in order to make play-action work.
