Josh Allen - Quarterback - Buffalo Bills

This was supposed to be a potential Super Bowl preview. Instead, it was a game between teams -- and quarterbacks -- that are heading in different directions. Josh Allen completed just 13-of-25 passes for 218 yards and tossed two touchdowns in an easy 27-17 win over Aaron Rodgers and the Packers Sunday night in Orchard Park. Allen also tossed two interceptions in the victory. The former UW gunslinger has thrown for 2,198 yards and 19 touchdowns this season while leading the Bills to a 6-1 record.
