It’s just a matter of time when Josh Allen wins his first NFL MVP award of his career. The superstar quarterback has been outstanding this season for the Buffalo Bills and he continues to separate himself as the lead in the MVP race. The only way he doesn’t win it is if he completely falls flat and has historic bad performances over the next three weeks.
Coming into Week 15, Allen had 32 total touchdowns to just 5 interceptions. He added on 4 more total touchdowns to his season stats in a thrilling 48-42 win over the Detroit Lions, who have not experienced a loss since Week 2.
For the last couple of weeks, Allen has been finding his way into the record books. Whether it’s in franchise history or in NFL history. Whether it’s taking over the record as the most touchdowns in Bills history, or even scoring three passing and three rushing touchdowns in a single game, Allen has proven that he can do it all.
Josh Allen’s MVP performance continues on through Week 15
According to the Buffalo Bills PR team, Josh Allen became the first player in NFL history to record multiple passing and rushing touchdowns, 350+ passing yards and 60+ rushing yards in the same game.
In addition, Allen became the first player in history to record two passing and two rushing touchdowns in consecutive games and also be the only player in history with three of those type of games. Finally, Allen has tied Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes for the second-most regular season wins by a quarterback in his first seven seasons in history.

How can fans not appreciate what Allen has done for the Bills and for the game overall? He has been unbelievable this season and he is re-writing or creating his own history. Allen keeps setting standards on what coaches are going to want from future quarterbacks.
Allen now has the pleasure of playing his next two out of three games back in Orchard Park against the New England Patriots and New York Jets, before ending their regular season in New England. He has the chance to sweep the AFC East once again, just like he did back in 2020.
