On Sunday, The Buffalo Bills broke the Chiefs’ two-game-winning streak as the Bisons beat them at their home. The Bills are having a tremendous season so far, thanks to their star quarterback Josh Allen, who had a terrific game against the Chiefs. His one particular play has become the talk of the town, as he hurdled the Chiefs’ safety Justin Reid for a crucial play in the fourth quarter.

Incidentally, this play led to a touchdown for the Bills, and they won their third game in a row. Meanwhile, this was not the first time Allen did something like this against the Chiefs and the NFL world praised the 26-year-old quarterback.

It is worth noting that the Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been one of the best quarterbacks in the season so far. However, after Allen beat Mahomes, fans on Twitter started calling Allen MVP over Mahomes. Moreover, the hurdle over Reid is already in the ‘play of the year’ category. You can see the clip below.

Some say Mahomes is No. 1 QB….

One Twitter user thought Allen is one of the most unique quarterbacks in the history of the NFL.
I don’t think there has ever been a QB like Josh Allen. He is one of a kind

On the other hand, Allen put Chiefs’ cornerback L’Jarius Sneed on skates before he made the leap. Many fans on Twitter were equally impressed by that move as well.
I don’t know which one was more impressive the move he put on that defender before the hurdle or the actual hurdle. Josh is a straight Baller

Another fan also shared the same opinion.
Many looking at the hurdle, just like me, but let’s talk about how he put 38 on skates. 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥

One particular fan thought it was not that impressive, but another fan jumped in and showed support for Allen.
Jumping over grown men isn’t impressive?
I vote that you post a video of yourself jumping over someone attempting to hit you

Meanwhile, one fan is waiting to see this match-up once again, possibly in the conference finals.
If he would have rumbled the rest of the way to the end zone, maybe. But huge nonetheless. Leapfrogging the defender on the way to leapfrogging the Chiefs in the race for the 1 seed. Don't think this will be the last time we see this matchup this season.

On the other hand, one fan used this image of Allen jumping over Reid as phone wallpaper.

It is also worth noting that Allen did the same move in October last year against the Chiefs, and L’Jarius Sneed was the victim at that time. Hence, many people pointed that out on Twitter.
Just when I think there’s no way he will do it again. He goes and does it in a more critical spot in a game. He is unbelievable!
