Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes are duelling for the NFL Most Valuable Player crown with their stellar displays for the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs, and the pair have single-season records within their grasp.
Both quarterbacks have been in a class of their own this season, leading the way with 17 and 20 touchdowns respectively, and at this rate, they could raise the bar for passing records. Peyton Manning holds both the single-season passing record of 5,477 yards and the single-season touchdown record, tossing 55 in a glittering season for the Denver Broncos in 2013.
With the benefit of a 17th regular season game, both Allen and Mahomes – who battled in an epic duel at Arrowhead Stadium on October 16, with the Bills claiming a memorable 24-20 win – have a strong chance of bypassing Manning's records.
