Through two games, Josh Allen has looked like a legitimate MVP contender for the Buffalo Bills. After guiding Buffalo to a 2-0 start, Allen has produced one of the best statistical kickoffs of his career — 582 passing yards and five passing touchdowns, plus 92 rushing yards and four rushing TDs.
Those numbers are even more notable because he hasn’t thrown an interception so far. Speaking with Colin Cowherd on The Herd, seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady credited much of Allen’s growth to the work he did with Brian Daboll before Daboll left to become the New York Giants’ head coach.
Brady said Allen absorbed the system Daboll installed and has long shown the ability to improvise. More importantly, Brady highlighted Allen’s progress in eliminating costly mistakes — turnovers, unnecessary sacks and reckless fumbles — that used to derail drives.
As a quarterback known for protecting the ball, Brady emphasized that avoiding negative plays is the clearest sign of Allen’s maturation. Sometimes, he said, the smartest decision is to throw the ball away or accept a manageable second down, and that discipline is where Allen’s game has improved the most.
Fan Take: Allen’s combination of big-play ability and better decision-making makes the Bills an even bigger threat in the AFC and keeps the MVP race compelling for fans. If he sustains this level of efficiency, defenses around the league will have to adjust their game plans, raising the stakes for how teams build and defend against dual-threat quarterbacks.
