Amid the performance of the Buffalo Bills, Aaron Rodgers believes that Josh Allen deserves to be in the discussion for the MVP. He believes that Josh Allen’s performance has earned him the status to be considered in the MVP discussions.

In the recent episode of The Pat McAfee show, the veteran quarterback said that the Bills’ man has done everything to be considered as a contender for the MVP. He emphasized:

If they finish the last two and win out and if Miami loses their next one, the Week 18 is going to be for the division...What if Josh has eight touchdowns the last two weeks and finishes with 48 combined touchdowns? How do you not put him in the conversation?

However, the Bills have not secured their place in the postseason. With a 9-6 record in their 15 games, they need to ensure two more victories to keep them afloat. If they finally manage to win those two games then they will have the chance to cement their place in the postseason.
