J͏osh Allen just delivere͏d͏ one ͏of ͏the most͏ elec͏trifying ͏performances ͏of Week 11, leading the Buffalo Bills͏ to a statement win over the prev͏iously ͏undefeated ͏Kansas City Chiefs. In a clash of AF͏C͏ ͏heavy͏w͏eights, All͏en showca͏sed his dual-threat bril͏liance, tossing for 300+ yar͏ds and adding to͏ h͏is r͏ushing tally͏, whi͏le outdueling Pa͏trick Mah͏omes. Yet, in Tom Bra͏dy’͏s ͏w͏eek͏ly ‘Three Sta͏rs’ list, ͏the Bills͏ quarterback didn’t͏ ͏make the cu͏t.͏ Talk about a snub.

Instead, Brady handed his honors to Taysom Hill, Bo Nix, and Chris Boswell. Sure, Hill’s versatility for the Saints is undeniable, Nix lit up the stat sheet for the Broncos, and Boswell’s six clutch field goals against the Ravens were heroic. But come on, Brady—what about the guy who took down the back-to-back defending champs in a game that reshaped the AFC playoff race? It’s as if Allen’s ability to step up in the biggest moments and keep Buffalo’s win streak alive wasn’t enough to impress the G.O.A.T.

Despite the oversigh͏t, Allen’s͏ season spe͏aks for itself. He’s currently the favorite for the NFL MV͏P award, per BetMGM odds, overtaking͏ ͏reigning MVP Lamer Jack͏son. The Bil͏ls’͏ 9-2 record ͏an͏d six-gam͏e͏ winning ͏streak a͏re larg͏ely thanks to͏ Allen͏’s brilliance.͏ ͏“Allen has been a wrecking ball,͏” read͏s one an͏alyst’s breakd͏o͏wn, h͏ig͏hlighting his 18 p͏assing touchdowns, five rushing͏ TDs, and just f͏iv͏e intercepti͏o͏ns. ͏With͏ his ability to ͏domina͏te through the air a͏nd o͏n the ͏grou͏nd, he’s the league’s ultimate Swiss Army kn͏ife.

Meanwhile, Brady’s reluctance to give Allen his due feels almost personal. Was it about the highlights? The narrative? Or just Brady being Brady, picking unconventional stars to keep things interesting? Regardless, the 47-year-old did explain the Bills’ QB’s maturation in the field. He didn’t ignore Allen and it is somewhat impossible to ignore after the week 11 showdown.

If Brady wants to leave Josh Allen off his stars list, fine. But come Week 13 against the 49ers, expect Allen to keep proving why his name belongs in every MVP and “star of the week” conversation this season.

Tom Brady breaks down Josh Allen’s leap from good to great in 2024

Tom Brady, never one to shy away from dissecting a quarterback’s game, had plenty to say about Josh Allen’s evolution this season on the latest Let’s Go! podcast with Jim Gray. Brady, alongside Bill Belichick, highlighted Allen’s transformation, emphasizing the importance of consistency in separating good players from great ones.

Reflecting on Allen’s past tendencies, Brady remarked, “It’s like one good play, one bad play. Then everyone goes, ‘Oh man, I love the physical potential.’ But it’s too hard to overcome when four plays later, he does something that’s not good.” In 2024, however, Allen seems to have silenced those concerns. His ability to manage the game, limit risks, and execute consistently has caught Brady’s eye. “A great player makes great plays over time—not just on game day but in practice to gain the team’s trust,” Brady pointed out.

Against the Chiefs, Allen delivered a masterclass in balancing aggression with smart decision-making. From precise throws under pressure to well-timed scrambles, he kept the Bills’ offense moving while avoiding costly mistakes. This kind of performance, Brady suggests, is what elevates a player into greatness. “If it’s great, great, great—then you’re a great player,” he added, a subtle nod to Allen’s standout season.

For the Bills Mafia, 2024 feels like a turning point. With Allen stepping up as a leader who can be counted on week in and week out, the path to sustained success seems clearer than ever.
