But I think the undeniable reality is that Allan outplayed Mahomes yesterday. Don’t expect him to do it in the playoffs. But you have to admit Allan is having a very good year, probably his best, especially in terms of not throwing games away. Buffalo has done much better than most expected. They will be a real challenge in the playoffs.

Allen is one of the best QBs to ever play the game of football, so there’s really not much shame in that. It’s going to happen from time to time.
It’s weird to me that he’s not accepted as the clear #2 to Mahomes (guys like Lamar and Burrow are still suggested) but I think his greatness would be far more obvious to most fans if the Chiefs didn’t own his team in the playoffs his entire career (and that ownership has almost next to nothing to do with his own performance in the playoffs). We almost certainly win that game yesterday if we are playing anybody other than the Bills.
If/when the Chiefs inevitably have a down period again, Josh Allen is probably going to be the biggest beneficiary.
