Josh Allen’s 2025 Projections Raise Concerns Despite MVP Momentum
As the 2025 NFL season approaches, expectations are high for Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen following an outstanding 2024 campaign. Allen led one of the league’s most explosive offenses and was named the NFL MVP. Despite falling just short of a Super Bowl appearance in a tight AFC Championship loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Allen’s performance was widely praised.
In 2024, Allen threw for 3,731 yards with 28 touchdowns and only six interceptions, completing 63.6% of his passes. He also added 531 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground, showcasing his signature dual-threat ability. His performance solidified his status as one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks and sparked high hopes for the Bills heading into 2025.
However, a new projection from ESPN has sparked debate among fans. According to their forecast, Allen is expected to post slightly lower numbers this season, with 3,497 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. His rushing stats are also predicted to dip slightly to 513 yards and 10 touchdowns. While still solid, these numbers reflect a regression across the board compared to his MVP-winning season.
These projections have surprised many, especially considering Allen is in his athletic prime and recently signed a six-year, $330 million contract extension. With the Bills still pursuing their elusive first Super Bowl title, fans are hoping these predictions prove overly cautious and that Allen exceeds expectations once again.
Ultimately, whether Allen’s 2025 campaign builds on last season or dips as projected will be a central storyline. If the Bills are to finally break through to a Super Bowl win, it will likely require another elite season from their franchise quarterback.
