The (in) famous Tom Brady-Peyton Manning rivalry gained momentum once again without the two stepping into the field. The two giants have had 17 head-to-heads in their extensive football career. Brady, staying true to his status as the GOAT, leads the head-to-head record with 11-6 against Manning. That, along with slightly better numbers and accolades.

It was in the past, till a similar comparison between the current leading QB Josh Allen, and Patrick Mahomes overtook the Internet. In the last head-to-head between the two, Patrick Mahomes and Co. outshone the Buffalo Bills in a cutting-edge 27-24 win, clearing their way toward the AFC Championship. With the loss came thousands of claims across the internet about Josh Allen outplaying Patrick Mahomes in the post-season clash.

Josh Allen-Patrick Mahomes feud

Despite fostering a friendship off-field, Mahomes and Allen are furious rivals when it comes to on-field competition. From the 3 times they have clashed against each other in playoffs, Mahomes took the win home every single time. However, the most recent loss leading to the divisional championship left Josh Allen and the internet broken. SI’s Tommy took to X to express the ‘tough’ emotions.

Witnessing a prodigious QB like Josh Allen’s record getting crushed by Patrick Mahomes saddened the internet. It transported them right to the time when Peyton Manning couldn’t establish himself as the best QB because he played in Tom Brady’s era. Manning won 2 out of his 4 SB appearances and was declared the XLI SB MVP.

“He’s Peyton Manning to Tom Brady,” wrote the fans. While the small sentence carried a huge sentiment with it. Something with which many others could resonate.

Fans compare Josh Allen to Peyton Manning

Among the 6 times Mahomes and Allen have faced each other, they have a tied record. However, Mahomes possesses all the post-season wins, causing more damage to Allen. Allen has one game in 2021, 2022, and 2023 under his belt, and yet lost to Mahomes in the post-season in each of those years. Well, Manning was in a similar headfirst competition with Brady. However, in the latter part of their careers, Brady swiftly overtook Manning.

Among the 4 times Manning and Brady clashed in the AFC Championship, Manning won three, giving him a road to redemption.

When a comparison is happening, one between Allen and Manning only seems logical. Josh Allen’s lack of postseason wins against Mahomes, as compared to Manning’s few wins against Brady, invited some sour comments.

In most of his interviews, Mahomes credits his success to his head coach Andy Reid. Well, Tom Brady flourished under Bill Belichick. Hence, a fan pointed out Mahomes and Reid being an equally explosive duo like Brady and Bill Belichick.
