Patrick Mahomes vs. Josh Allen: Seven reasons why this QB rivalry is the best since Tom Brady-Peyton Manning
‘Entertainment counts for something! They produce more wow plays than any other QBs in the NFL, which gives them a leg up on any rivalry.

Mahomes has more touchdown passes when pressured (six) than Matthew Stafford has overall (five). Allen’s passer rating when pressured (116.8) would lead the NFL in all situations. Statistically at least, he’s better with a 300-pound pass rusher in his face than any QB is in all circumstances. Let that sink in.’
