Many criticized the NFL’s take on the coin toss rule to decide the over-time possession. The Chiefs claimed the win in the end. Even though Josh did not even touch the ball during the OT. Many believed it not to be a fair result since both the quarterbacks were equally resilient and competitive during the game.

However, history repeated itself as just as the previous season. The Chiefs downed the Bills in a playoff win at Arrowhead Stadium- the only difference was that instead of the AFC Championship, the two sides met in the Divisional Round. Talking about the clash of the quarterbacks, it was probably the best QB show of the season. Both the youngsters scored four TDs each with no one backing down.

It was hard to distinguish which one of the two players played better, but one thing is certain the fight was not over. The two sides will meet again, and the show is going to be even more brutal next time. Mahomes vs. Allen is going to be a next-generation Brady vs. Manning, and Twitter approves it so.

However, after the game ended, the two quarterbacks shared their respects for each other. When Patrick Mahomes was asked about going against Josh Allen, he replied, “Yea I mean Josh is a player man. We’re gonna play a lot of these games over time and it’s always gonna be a battle never be easy. They have a great football team, and I mean much credit to him, man. He played his tail off today.”
