Bills’ Josh Allen named AFC Offensive Player of the Week

Josh has a thing for doing this against the #Dolphins:

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts against the Miami Dolphins in Week 15.

It has happened again…

and again…

and yes, again, against the Dolphins (8-6), this time in a 32-29 win on Saturday.

Overall, the 26-year-old has won the weekly honor 10 times in his career. That ties the franchise record for the most by one player. Hall of Fame QB Jim Kelly is the other.

Since Allen’s rookie season in 2018, no player has earned more total Player of the Week Awards than Allen in the entire NFL.

Of those 10 times, Allen’s earned four of them, nearly half, against Miami.

En route to the victory, Allen put up 304 yards and four touchdowns, completing 62.5 percent of his passes. Undoubtedly the most impressive was another pass along the sideline just before halftime.

Allen last won the award during Buffalo’s 38-3 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5 of this season… and just one week later when the Bills defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 24-20, in Week 6.

In the entire NFL, Allen is the only player to have won weekly honors three times.

Five  others have won it twice:

  • QB Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs)
  • QB Joe Burrow (Bengals)
  • QB Trevor Lawrence (Jaguars)
  • QB Jalen Hurts (Eagles),
  • Cordarrelle Patterson (Falcons), who has won it once on offense and once for special teams
