Josh Allen Ranked Above Mahomes in New Projections

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, the reigning NFL MVP, has been recently ranked ahead of Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson by Bleacher Report due to his consistent, record-setting dual-threat performance. Allen holds several all-time NFL records, including the most consecutive seasons with 40+ touchdowns and the highest total touchdowns and yards in a player's first seven seasons. Despite leading Buffalo to five straight AFC East titles, concerns remain about the Bills' reliance on Allen amid questions about their supporting offensive cast. ESPN projects Allen's 2025 season stats as 3,497 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, 10 interceptions, 513 rushing yards, and 10 rushing scores—a potential regression from his previous numbers. Many analysts believe these projections underestimate Allen's ability to surpass expectations despite roster challenges. The Bills' Super Bowl aspirations will again largely depend on Allen's performance as they seek their first championship.
