The MVP talk about Josh Allen has come to an abrupt halt the last two weeks. After a dominating three game stretch by Allen to start the season, he has played like one of the worst quarterbacks in the league the last two games. Now granted, not all of it is his fault but his 30% completion percentage last week doesn’t help his case.

Allen heads into Monday Night Football to take on a familiar foe that has given him difficulties over the years. While he has a 7-4 record against the New York Jets, nothing comes easy for him when he takes on a defense that always seems to be near the top of the league. In his career against the ets, Allen has thrown for 2,552 yards, 12 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

The Jets are actually part of the reason why Allen is labeled as a “turnover machine”. In addition to his 11 interceptions against them, Allen has also fumbled 10 times, losing 7 of them. Long story short, this defense knows how to get inside of Allen’s head.

The good news for this season is that Allen has yet to throw an interception this season and he has only been sacked six times. The bad news is that the Jets defense has 18 sacks and 6 takeaways through five games. The offensive line for the Bills will be the difference maker for better or worse.

Even though Allen has looked horrible the last two weeks, we can’t discredit his overall production this year. It’s not his fault that he doesn’t have the greatest supporting cast so he will have to go into Superman mode from time to time. Going up against the Jets, knowing the pressure that the Bills face, Allen will need to deliver somehow and someway if he wants to get Buffalo back in the win column.

Josh Allen stats prediction: 21/30, 235 yards, 2 touchdowns, 2 interceptions
