Josh Allen's bold take on stats—Is he the real deal or just full of hot air?

Controversy and the NFL seem to go hand in hand these days! And now, a new one is brewing. Since everyone is familiar with Travis Kelce making waves for a slow start to the season, his performance has put him in a tough spot. But amidst all this drama, Chiefs rival Josh Allen has something interesting to say. And while we are not sure about how the TE will perform in the upcoming games, one thing is for sure: you won’t want to miss what’s Allen’s take on Kelce!

The QB mentioned that statistics don’t matter to the Bills as long as the team wins. He stated, “It’s a fun and wonderful thing when you have a bunch of guys that don’t care about stats, they don’t care about touchdowns.” The Bills’ mindset is clear to do things in the right way and find new ways to win the game! And as per Josh Allen, that is what the team is doing at present.

The 2020 Pro Bowl receiver believes that the hard work they put in during the offseason and training camp is really starting to pay off to them. “Paying dividends of what we’ve worked on throughout the entire offseason and through training camp of the everybody eats mentality,” he added. Allen also stated that no one knows when their moment will come, and that’s the exciting part!

The second-team All-Pro also shared how players understand that even if they don’t get the ball multiple times, those one or two chances could lead to scoring. It’s refreshing to see a team focused on winning rather than individual stats, all while sticking to the right approach on and off the field. While the Bills QB praises his team, what’s going on inside the rivals’ locker room?

Have an interesting take?

Being a bigwig like Travis Kelce is not easy, because he is always walking a tightrope. And since every player has some good and bad phases, the tight end is surely having some bad days. But his rough start to the 2024 season is catching heat!

Well, the NFL world’s disappointment is completely understandable. When the whole stadium was chanting Kelce’s name, he was just off his game. To shed some light on his performance, the Chiefs tight end managed just eight catches for 69 yards with no touchdowns in the first three games. This is a far cry from his fierce 2022 season, where he racked up 184 yards from 17 receptions in the same timeframe.

Analysts have raised eyebrows, speculating that his offseason activities, including a highly publicized relationship with Taylor Swift, might have affected his focus and fitness. NFL analyst Todd McShay pointed to Kelce appearing “out of shape,” which has led to concerns about his dedication. He also stated, “That he’s been partying all offseason? He’s been jet-setting around with the most famous person, probably in the entire world.”

However, Chiefs’ offensive coordinator Matt Nagy remains confident in Kelce’s abilities, stressing it’s only a matter of time before he gets back on track. “It’s just a matter of time.” Kelce himself has downplayed individual stats, focusing more on team success. As the Chiefs gear up for their next game against the Los Angeles Chargers, all eyes will be on Kelce to see if he can turn things around.

With Josh Allen’s comment on the Kansas locker room situation, the Bills vs Chiefs battle is getting more intense. Things are heating up and let’s see what 2024 holds for both teams!
