He’s also shown the ability to beat defenses with his legs as well. In his first two years, Allen rushed for 17 TDs which is second-most all-time by a QB behind Cam Newton (22). While Allen passed the ball more in year three, he still managed eight rushing TDs and 421 yards on the ground, which is the lowest of his career.
Allen is the best QB in his division by a wide margin. Buffalo dominated the AFC East in 2020, sweeping the division, and Allen played a massive part by throwing 13 TDs to only 2 INTs in 6 division games. Close to 40% of Allen’s passing yards (1,732) came against the division last year. I only see his domination over the division continuing this season and into the future.
Another major contributor to Allen’s potential MVP season is the addition of an elite wide receiver on the outside. Stefon Diggs had the best season of his pro career catching passes from Allen. Watching the tandem, it looked as if they’d played together for years, not a few months. Diggs caught 127 balls and 8 TDs in his first year with Allen and the Bills. Most of Diggs’ stats jumped up significantly the same way Allen’s did. Allen and Diggs both earned their first pro bowl selections, and Diggs was named All-Pro for the first time.
There isn’t any reason to think this duo won’t continue to be a factor in the East and the AFC overall. I don’t see Super Bowl for the Bills just yet, but I see Allen continuing to dominate on an individual level as the team gradually continues to make their way towards that ultimate goal. Josh Allen should be favored to win the MVP award this year, and I won’t be surprised at all when he does.
