ESPN Analyst Issues Shocking Bold Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen MVP Message Ahead of Week 11
Week 11 of the 2024 NFL season features a major showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills, with star quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen leading the charge. This game is crucial for the standings and could also have a significant impact on the MVP race. While neither Mahomes (69.5 completion percentage, 2,208 passing yards, 13 total touchdowns) nor Allen (63.5 completion percentage, 2,281 passing yards, 21 total touchdowns) is enjoying their best statistical season, they have both guided their teams to impressive records of 9-0 and 8-2, respectively. As the Bills aim to hand the Chiefs their first loss of the season, ESPN analyst Ryan Clark suggests that a strong performance from Allen, especially in defeating Mahomes, could elevate his MVP candidacy. Clark stated on *Get Up*, “If Josh Allen plays exceptionally well, especially with some of his key players out, and beats Patrick Mahomes, there will be a major push to include him in the MVP discussion. He might be second behind Lamar Jackson, as many feel he deserves it given his consistent performance as one of the league’s top quarterbacks.”
While Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens is widely considered the front-runner in the MVP race, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen are still very much in the conversation. Mahomes’ candidacy is bolstered by the Chiefs’ dominant performance this season, while Allen has been highly efficient despite not always having the best supporting cast. This trend will continue in the Week 11 matchup against Kansas City, as rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman and tight end Dalton Kincaid have already been ruled out for the game. However, if Allen can perform at his best, the Bills will have a strong chance of securing a victory. The MVP angle of this matchup is particularly intriguing, especially since Mahomes defeated Jackson in Week 1. The game is set to kick off at 4:25 PM EST on Sunday, Nov. 17.
