Josh Allen is one of the finest football players the game has ever seen, and he has helped take the Buffalo Bills from a seemingly eternal mediocrity to consistent contenders.
Over his six-year career, the dynamic quarterback has had a number of terrific performances, and today we'll look at Josh Allen's 10 best games ahead of the 2024 NFL season.
10. Week 16 vs. Miami Dolphins (2022)
The Bills had lost the first matchup of the season to the Dolphins, marking just the second time Allen had lost to Miami. However, on a snowy December night in Buffalo, Allen made sure he wouldn't drop both games to the Bills' divisional foes. He went 25-of-40 for 304 yards and four touchdowns as the Bills won 32-29 and put a bow on the AFC East title.
9. Week 3 vs. Washington Commanders (2021)
The Bills were coming off a 35-0 shutout win over the Dolphins in Week 2 to get to 1-1, and Allen put up a masterful performance to give them their second win in what would become a four-game win streak. He went 32-of-43 for 358 yards and four scores, and also had a touchdown on the ground. His five touchdown performance was the most he'd account for in a game that season.
8. Week 5 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (2022)
Allen came out guns blazing against the Steelers in 2022. On the game's first drive, the Bills were backed up at their own two yard-line when Allen threw a 98 yard touchdown to Gabe Davis, which all but set the tone for the afternoon. Allen would have another long touchdown pass to Davis and finish the day with a career-high 424 yards and four touchdown passes in a 38-3 win.
7. Week 2 vs. Tennessee Titans (2022)
Frankly speaking, the Bills beat the hell out of the Titans on Monday Night Football. Allen threw for 317 yards and four touchdowns has the Bills dismantled Tennessee 41-7 to begin the year 2-0 and start off the season outscoring their opponents 72-17.
6. Week 13 at San Francisco 49ers (2020)
The Bills ended the 2020 season on a six-game win streak, and this was the second game of the long line of wins. Allen went 32-of-40 for 375 yards and four touchdowns. This performance marked the third of what would be four games of 4+ touchdown passes for Allen in 2020.
5. Week 5 at Kansas City Chiefs (2021)
The Bills marched into Arrowhead and stomped on the throats of the Chiefs in front of a national audience. Allen only completed 15 passes, but totaled 315 yards and three scores while also adding 59 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The 38-20 win for Buffalo was a statement win for Allen and the Bills after their loss in Arrowhead in the AFC Championship game, and Allen's first win over Patrick Mahomes.
4. Week 4 vs. Miami Dolphins (2023)
This past season, Allen had arguably his best game against the Dolphins, which is no small feat. He finished with more touchdowns than incompletions, as well as a perfect passer rating, throwing for four scores and rushing for one more on 21-of-25 passing in a 48-20 win.
3. Week 9 vs. Seattle Seahawks (2020)
Allen was as close to perfect in this game as you can be. He threw for 415 yards while going 31-of-38 through the air with three scores, as well as an additional touchdown on the ground. The Bills won 44-34, but the game never even felt that close.
2. Week 2 at Miami Dolphins (2020)
This was Allen's masterpiece against the Bills' arch division rival. He threw for 417 yards, which was a career-high at that point, as well as four touchdowns. He had completions of 47, 46, 46, 38, and 26 yards as the Bills defeated Miami 31-28.
1. AFC divisional round at Kansas City Chiefs (2022)
Audible sigh. Allen played the most perfect game when the stakes were the highest against the best team in the NFL, and he was let down by his defense. We all watched him go punch-for-punch with Mahomes, and even his god-like numbers don't do his performance justice. He went 27-of-37 for 329 yards and four touchdowns while also adding 68 yards on the ground. While the end result didn't go the Bills' way, it certainly wasn't the fault of Allen. He put together one of the best performances the NFL has ever seen.
