Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes are arguably the best quarterbacks on their respective teams. On one hand, Allen is helping his team keep their level up this season. On the other hand, Mahomes is trying every possible way to maintain their achievements.
Is what Mahomes and his team are doing enough to prepare for the upcoming playoffs? Can Josh Allen’s massive records help the Buffalo Bills clinch the Super Bowl this year? Let’s delve deeper into how these quarterbacks and their teams are prepared for the playoffs!
Josh Allen seems prepared!
Both teams have clinched their playoff spots this year. The Bills are on the No. 2 seed, while the Kansas City Chiefs are on No. 3. The Bills will be facing off against the No. 7 seed, while the Chiefs are set to battle against the No. 6 seed. So, will they win? Of course, the results will lie in the future, but the recent performances of the quarterbacks and the teams could illuminate their preparation for future games.
Josh Allen didn’t take a respite in his last regular game of the season as the team was aiming to settle in a playoff spot, which they eventually got on Sunday. And Allen played the way a quarterback should play. He threw for four touchdown passes, ran for 359 yards, and led his team to the win 21-14 against Miami. Allen’s total touchdowns now stands at 44 for 4,306 yards this season. Besides his being in form and dual-threat ability, his team is looking strong this season, as they have been continuously winning the games since last month.
However, some gaps could be seen if we consider Patrick Mahomes and his team’s performance.
Is Patrick Mahomes & Squad still struggling?
Although the team has reached the playoff spot, comparing Patrick Mahomes with Josh Allen or the Chiefs with the Bills shows some significant drawbacks for the Red Army. Mahomes rested in his Week 18 game, so he gets a long week breather to ponder his and his team’s issues. In his last regular game, i.e., in Week 17, the quarterback threw one touchdown for just 245 yards, 114 yards less than Allen. Furthermore, his total TD passes this season stand at 27 for 4,183 yards. Although the stats and records he made this time are impressive, they are slightly lower than the previous ones.
Last season, he threw 41 touchdowns for 5,250 yards, but this season, he just threw 27 TDs for 4,183 yards. Besides him, the Chiefs are struggling with their offense. Almost every game of the Red team has seen dropped passes, their lead in offensive penalties, and more. These faults have only contributed to the offensive struggles of KC in 2023. Although they are in the playoffs, many NFL analysts and football enthusiasts believe the Chiefs didn’t deserve a spot because of their subpar performances, especially after their Bye Week. Therefore, to win future games, the Chiefs must fix their offensive dilemma and bring back the real Mahomes, who used to have his cannon arm throws on the field.
The Chiefs will battle against the Phins in their Wildcard round on January 13 at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. And the Bills will have a showdown against the Steelers on January 14 at Highmark Stadium. Who will win? What do you think?
