The Buffalo Bills head into their bye week just shy of the top spot in the AFC, following their Week 11 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs. One of the key factors behind their success has been Josh Allen, who sealed the win with a 26-yard touchdown run on fourth down in the final minutes of the game. Allen now boasts 23 total touchdowns, 2,859 yards, and five interceptions on the season. In the Chiefs game, he racked up 317 total yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. His impressive performance has earned him widespread praise, with some considering him the MVP frontrunner after 11 weeks.
LeSean McCoy, a former Bills star and Pro Bowl running back, is one of those backing Allen for the MVP award. McCoy said, “Josh is right there with [the top quarterbacks in football]. When it’s clutch moments, he’s going to take over, and that’s why he should be your MVP this season.” He also expressed confidence in Allen’s ability to win the game even before the dramatic touchdown, noting the critical situation and Allen’s proven ability to deliver in such moments.

McCoy, who played four seasons with the Bills and made three Pro Bowls, was on the team during Allen’s rookie year in 2018. His comments reflect his deep belief in Allen’s abilities and his impact on the team’s success. McCoy’s endorsement adds to the growing recognition of Allen as one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks.
