The rivalry between Patrick Lavon Mahomes II and Josh Allen is primed to develop over the coming years. The duo has already delivered a hint of what could be in store for the fans through the next years. Following the loss experienced by Allen’s Bills in 2021 at the hands of the Chiefs in the divisional round. They would set the record straight in 2022 by exacting revenge on Mahomes‘ Chiefs as they ran out victors in week 6 of the regular season.

Allen and Mahomes are 2 of the top QBs in the NFL at present. But the latest rankings released by ESPN for their top 10 QBs of 2023 have inched them closer together, which will inspire a tussle between the two yet again.

Josh Allen is 1 step away from an all-out war

ESPN has made some bold calls with this year’s rankings for the top 10 QBs. But their decision to rank Josh Allen third on their list will surely divide opinions among many fans and pundits. Allen is considered a direct rival to Patrick Mahomes in the QB slot. When they pushed Mahomes to the top of the list this year from 2nd, many would have expected a rise for the Bills’ man to be on the cards.

But ESPN retained Allen’s rankings from last year and placed him 3rd yet again. They justified their reasoning behind Allen to be that he can go on and off within a game, which is something rarely seen with the Chief’s man. Although Allen has put up top-of-the-class numbers in his position, he hasn’t been consistent enough in the metrics. Since the Bills can go a half doing nothing after some spectacular plays by their QB.

With the new season up ahead, Allen may use this as fuel for motivation to lead the Bills to the top. But this won’t be the only source of motivation for the 3rd best QB, as Mahomes would outshine him in the off-season yet again.

With the off-season coming to a close in the next couple of weeks, Mahomes and Allen recently stepped onto the Basketball court for a hoop-off. The face-off would stun fans at leaving them in awe of their hoops skills. In a post on Instagram, Mahomes would share a long shot that would only require a single attempt. Before stepping up to the court himself, Allen would ask how many tries did he need.

When the fans roared in with 1 as the answer to Allen’s question. The Bill’s man was in disbelief with a hint of envy at his name following the brilliant basket from Mahomes.

The off-season following the 2022 season has put the Bills’ man as one of the contenders for Mahomes’ newly gained title. Whether he can challenge and successfully win the war for the Best QB title will be seen in 2023.
