Through 13 games this year, Josh Allen has passed for 23 touchdowns, rushed for nine, and "caught" one to bring his season total up to 33. While this hasn't been his statistical best year on paper, Buffalo's field general has consistently shown up in moments that matter the most for the team -- giving him very solid ground to prove why he's this year's MVP favorite.
