In historic fashion, Sean McDermott’s Buffalo Bills bagged the AFC East division crown with a comprehensive 26-15 win over Ben Roethlisberger-led Pittsburgh Steelers. This was their first division win since 1995. A major reason behind their dominance in 2020 is the emergence of third-year quarterback Josh Allen.

The former University of Wyoming player has led the Bills to an 11-3 record heading into Week 15 of regular season. He has thrown for 4,000 yards with 30 passing touchdowns against just nine interceptions.

Here’s what the up-and-coming youngster has to say with regards to his recent rise to stardom and his role in the Bills dressing room.

The young quarterback further added that it was his family who deserves credit for his ‘natural’ leadership skills.

“Being a quarterback in the NFL is the only thing I’ve ever wanted to be…I don’t know if it comes naturally to me, I feel it does, I just want to go out there and be the best version of me, the best quarterback that I could be for this (Buffalo Bills) team and show the guys how much I love them through my play,” Allen said earlier this week.
