With the NFL MVP race in full swing, Josh Allen made a strong argument on Sunday night that he should probably be the front-runner for the award.

3. Allen becomes first QB in 81 years to pull off rare feat. With his spectacular game, Allen became just the second player in NFL history to record at least two passing touchdowns, one rushing touchdown and one receiving touchdown in the same game, joining Tony Canadeo, who did it in 1943.
