The Buffalo quarterback led a new-look squad past Kansas City in a win that could preview a more consequential postseason meeting.

Allen has emerged as the MVP favorite. His signature play to conquer the Chiefs spoke volumes. “He wants to win by any means necessary, and he’s going to make the plays to do so,” Ty Johnson said. “I don’t think he worries about MVP or anything like that.

And leave it to the Buffalo Bills, of all teams, to settle the issue behind their remarkable quarterback.  Allen bolted from the pocket on a fourth-down play with just over two minutes on the clock and didn’t stop until he delivered a finishing blow with a 26-yard touchdown run that essentially sealed the 30-21 verdict in a thriller at Highmark Stadium.
