Josh Allen has established himself as the frontrunner for NFL MVP honors following an extraordinary start to the 2026 campaign with the Buffalo Bills, posting +260 odds on FanDuel Sportsbook. In a Week 2 Thursday clash against the Detroit Lions, the signal-caller connected on 20 of 31 throws for 248 yards and added 69 rushing yards across 14 carries, tallying five touchdowns.
That display built upon his Week 1 outing against the Houston Texans' highly touted defense, where he hit 20 of 29 passes for 334 yards and two scores alongside 23 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
Outside of end-of-half clock management and kneel-downs, Allen has guided Buffalo to 10 touchdowns, three field goals, four punts, and just one turnover on downs across 18 drives. By compiling at least nine total touchdowns without committing a single turnover through the opening two matchups, he becomes merely the third quarterback in league history to hit those marks, joining in 2013 and Patrick in 2018.
Notably, both Manning and Mahomes capped off those respective campaigns by capturing the MVP trophy.
