“Josh Allen is the best football player in the world right now. He’s not just playing at an elite level, he’s rewriting the way we think about quarterbacks. One of the top 5 players I’ve ever seen, and it’s not even close.”
— Colin Cowherd, on Josh Allen’s performance and impact on the Buffalo Bills.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen delivered a stellar performance in Week 11, leading his team to a
44-32 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite a couple of early mistakes—two interceptions—Allen played with determination and skill, finishing with 317 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and 40 rushing yards with another three rushing touchdowns. His remarkable all-around performance propelled the Bills to a 7-3 record, keeping them firmly at the top of the AFC East.
Following the game, Colin Cowherd was quick to sing Allen’s praises. On his podcast, Cowherd called Allen not just the best player in the NFL right now, but also one of the
top five players he’s ever seen play the game:
“Josh Allen is the best football player in the world right now. He’s not just playing at an elite level, he’s rewriting the way we think about quarterbacks. One of the top 5 players I’ve ever seen, and it’s not even close.”

Cowherd and Middlekauff Discuss Allen’s Unstoppable Impact
Cowherd was joined by John Middlekauff, who echoed similar sentiments about Allen’s extraordinary influence on the Buffalo Bills. According to Middlekauff
, Josh Allen is more than just the leader of the team—he is the brand itself:
“Josh Allen is the brand of the Bills. This franchise has been a joke for 20 years. You watch him today, and it’s like, if Josh Allen disappears tomorrow, the Bills are the Jets or the Dolphins.”
Middlekauff went on to say that Allen is a game-changing force, comparing him to top quarterbacks like Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, and Patrick Mahomes. What sets
Allen apart, however, is his unique combination of elite passing and the ability to run the ball like Cam Newton, creating a dynamic, dual-threat quarterback who is nearly impossible to stop.
Allen Continues to Break Records
Allen’s ability to dominate the field is evidenced by his remarkable stats. This week, he passed Tom Brady’s record for the most games with three or more touchdown passes
and one or more rushing touchdowns. In fact, this win marks Allen’s 11th career game with that feat, further solidifying his place in NFL history.
Allen’s growth has been nothing short of extraordinary, and his performance against the
Buccaneers was another example of his MVP-caliber play. He continues to evolve and prove why he is considered by many as the best quarterback in the league today.
The Ultimate Goal: Super Bowl Glory
While Josh Allen’s individual accomplishments are impressive, the ultimate goal for him and the Buffalo Bills remains the Super Bowl. If Allen can lead the Bills to their first
Lombardi Trophy, it would cement his legacy as one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game.
As Cowherd stated, Josh Allen isn’t just playing for now—he’s shaping the future of the position and the future of the
Buffalo Bills. The sky is the limit for this talented quarterback, and if the Bills can continue their strong form, Allen may soon be hoisting the Super Bowl trophy.
