The Buffalo Bills are heading into Week 17 with a crucial divisional clash against the New York Jets, boasting a strong 12-3 record and riding a two-game win streak. Buffalo’s success this season has been fueled by an MVP-caliber performance from quarterback Josh Allen.
Standing at 6-foot-5, Allen is currently the frontrunner for the NFL MVP award, with odds of -250, ahead of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (-160) and Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (+1400), according to CBS Sports. On Saturday, the Bills’ communications team shared an impressive statistic highlighting Allen’s career achievements.
Over his first seven NFL seasons, Allen ranks first in both total touchdowns (259) and total yards (30,396) in league history. He is also tied with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes for the most touchdowns in a player’s first eight seasons in NFL history.
