Patrick Mahomes-Josh Allen rivalry approaching Tom Brady-Peyton Manning levels
NY Post
For years, the tier of quarterback rivalry that Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen has now crossed into remained reserved for Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
For those Patriots and Colts — and then Patriots and Broncos — showdowns.
For the six-game streak by Brady to start their head-to-head, the comeback in January 2007 that changed everything and all of the unpredictable duels that followed.
Allen and Mahomes slowly crept toward that point with three postseason meetings and five regular-season clashes.
They aren’t the only superstar quarterbacks in the NFL, but each matchup carried a certain weight, a certain aura, a certain expectation for unexpected chaos that others haven’t matched.
The pair will collide in the AFC Championship game at Arrowhead Stadium, with Kansas City needing a win to keep its bid for a three-peat alive and Buffalo needing a victory to get back to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 1993 season in search of its first title.
