Brett Favre had a feeling about Josh Allen.
After the Buffalo Bills’ 4-0 start this season, Favre went on record to state that he was not surprised by the quarterback’s hot start. He went on to predict that Allen would be running the AFC East for the foreseeable future.
“I’m not surprised with Josh Allen’s success,” Favre said back in October. “Talking about Josh Allen, man, he looks awesome. He can sling it. He can move, for a big guy he can really move. We saw that with him the last few years but what we’re seeing now is he’s taking it to the next level. He’s winning games. He’s putting an exclamation point on the game itself week in and week out. For Buffalo fans and the organization, it is what you’ve been waiting to see and you’ve gotten it.”
“His time is now and I think it is going to be for quite a while,” Favre added. “I think Josh Allen will be the new Tom Brady, you know, at some point he will be running the division. I believe that.”
Time will tell if Allen ends up running the division, but he got off to a pretty good start this season.
Allen led the Bills to a 13-3 regular season record and put up MVP-type numbers in his third season with the Bills. Now, the Bills quarterback has the team on the cusp of a Super Bowl. Standing in Allen’s way is Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champions.
For Mahomes, the AFC Championship is just another game at this point. Sunday night will mark Mahomes’ third consecutive appearance in the game as long as he is cleared to play. The quarterback and team fell short in his first appearance, a 37-31 overtime loss to the New England Patriots, but bounced back last year in a 35-24 win over the Tennessee Titans.
Allen, of course, is entering his first AFC Championship, but Favre believes it will be the first of many.
During his weekly SiriusXM Blitz radio show, Favre went on record to say that he expects Sunday to be the beginning of many more title games to come.
“It’s really exciting,” Favre said in regards to appearing in a conference championship for the first time. “You know, I don’t know what’s going to happen in this game, but the fact that he’s there and the teams that are there, it’s a special time. But I think, well, like with Josh it’s the beginning of I believe many more to come. … But this guy can do it all and quietly has kind of snuck up the ladder and is good. I mean, the guy is just, you know, he’s the best no-name player out there, and you know I mean no disrespect by that. But he kind of gets overshadowed by all these other guys, but I love watching him play, man. He’s a competitor. Big, big strong guy.”
Before anyone gets upset with Favre’s “no-name” comment, he simply meant that Allen was overshadowed by Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. The latter two are sure-fire first ballot hall of famers and there are already discussions about whether or not Mahomes will eclipse those two quarterbacks and eventually become recognized as the greatest QB of all-time. In that sense, Allen has snuck up the ladder of success at the position and now remains alongside those greats.
Bills fans can only hope that the first time will be the charm for Allen and this Buffalo team in the AFC Championship, but as Favre mentioned there is a good chance this is the first of many appearances for Allen and the Bills in the conference championship.
