Who took Josh Allen's spot?

Buffalo Bills superstar Josh Allen is no longer ranked No. 1 on NFL.com's QB rankings. 

He was replaced by Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Allen is No. 2. He has 2,027 passing yards, 12 touchdown passes, six interceptions, 285 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns this season.

Meanwhile, Burrow has 2,386 passing yards, 23 passing touchdowns and six interceptions.

In Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings, Allen went 21/31 through the air for 234 yards against the Vikings. He had a touchdown and an interception and completed 67.7% of his passes.

The Bills are 7-1. They have the best record in the AFC. 

11 players in NFL history have won at least two MVP awards. Allen won the award in 2024. If he continues to play at the level he's at right now, he could win the 2026 MVP award. 

The Bills are averaging 32.0 points per game in Year 1 of the Joe Brady era. That's first in the NFL. 

Next up for Buffalo is a matchup against the lowly New York Jets. Allen and Co. should easily win that game. The Jets are only 2-7 and have one of the worst coaches in the NFL, Aaron Glenn. 

Allen enters the Bills-Jets game with 32,129 passing yards, 232 touchdown passes, 100 interceptions, 5,006 rushing yards and 88 rushing touchdowns in a Buffalo jersey. When it's all said and done, he will dethrone Hall of Famer Jim Kelly as the best QB in Bills franchise history.

Buffalo is 95-40-0 in the regular season with Allen under center. It's been incredible watching Allen turn into a once-in-a-generation player. 

After the Jets game, the Bills play the Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, Dolphins and Jets. The Patriots are the only team to beat Buffalo this season thus far. 

Is this the season Allen and the Bills finally reach the promised land? It's possible. After all, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs don't look that exemplary anymore and the Chiefs are pretty much the only team Allen has struggled against in the playoffs. 

Allen has a 8-7 record in the playoffs. He's 0-4 against Kansas City. 

The Bills will probably build a statue of Allen one day, but Allen doesn't care about fame or accolades. He wants to win a Super Bowl for a fanbase that has never seen their favorite team win it all.
