Josh Allen vs. Patrick Mahomes Preview

After a magnificent win against the Buccaneers in their week 4 clash, the Chiefs were tested to their limits in their last game against the Raiders.

Mahomes blew the Bucs away with 3 touchdowns for 249 yards and improved his performance against the Las Vegas-based franchise in the previous clash. He returned with 4 TDs for 292 yards against the Raiders.

On the other hand, the Bills absolutely destroyed the Pittsburgh Steelers in their previous encounter. As far as Allen is concerned, he scored 4 TDs for 424 yards and one interception.

While the Chiefs came from behind to register a memorable victory against the Raiders, the Bills would be riding high on confidence as they didn’t allow the Steelers to do any sort of damage in their last game.

As far as Mahomes vs Allen head to head record is concerned, Kansas City’s QB1 holds a massive advantage. Till now, the two stars have faced each other on four occasions. Out of those four games, three have gone in favor of the Chiefs.

Moreover, out of the three Chiefs victories, two came in playoffs. If we talk about arm strength, Allen holds a little advantage. However, Mahomes is a little bit quicker than Allen.

It would be fair to say that the two stars have varying playing styles. Still, there isn’t much to choose between the two QBs. With both the teams boasting a 4-1 record coming into the clash, the encounter is expected to be an absolute humdinger.

However, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that Allen’s Bills will feel more confident coming into the clash as supposed to Mahomes’ Chiefs who just about managed to steal a victory in their last clash.
