The NFL has and always will continue to have comparisons between the players of now to the players in the past. It has been a longstanding tradition of all sports worldwide to try and draw similarities between two legends. Because fans have always liked having a precedent to compare athletes to. And with the quarterbacks of the NFL, it’s no different matter.

Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, is widely considered as the best QB in the current generation of players. So, it’s not a surprise that he often gets compared to Tom Brady, the NFL legend. This is exactly what Adam Schefter did as he tried to make comparisons between the rivalry of Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes.

Adam Schefter makes comparisons between 4 great quarterbacks in the NFL

On the latest episode of the ESPN NFL show, Adam Schefter takes to the mic to compare the similarities between the rivalries of Brady-Manning and Mahomes-Allen. As the match between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills is only a few hours away, the fans have been divided into choosing a side.

In his words, Schefter said, “Brady lost against Manning for the first time in his 7th season. For Mahomes, he will also be going against Allen in his 7th season. When Manning finally made a breakthrough and won against Brady, it was on January 21, 2007. Well, January 21, 2024. 17 years to the day Josh Allen is hoping to do what Peyton Manning did against Tom Brady.” Thus, the Chiefs’ Mahomes will have a lot of eyes on him, as Allen does all he can do to attain the same respect as the legendary Peyton Manning. But with the cold weather that has been haunting the nation, it is going to be a tough environment to play football in.

The cold weather has made it quite difficult for the matches to occur in a safe setting. In the last game of the Chiefs against the Miami Dolphins, Patrick Mahomes’ helmet broke off after a tackle due to the harsh weather. Now, the fans will show up in a lot of layers to witness the NFL divisional round that will be the ultimate decider for the Mahomes-Allen debate.

In response to the team playing in such a difficult condition, Travis Kelce, the TE for the Chiefs, posted a reel on Instagram. He captioned the reel by writing, “So icy gang 🥶” and showed respect for the Chiefs. It’s unsure whether Kelce will be playing today as he has been suffering from an injury lately. Thus, all eyes will be on the team but more so on Mahomes as he takes on the might of Josh Allen and the Bills.
