Allen and the Bills, Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens, or even Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, all harbour the intention to finally slay the bogeyman. And maybe Buffalo's "momentum" will be the defining thing that allows Allen to get his first playoff victory over Mahomes en route to a Super Bowl win.

“You know, it is such a great honor, and I do appreciate being honored for my work,” Allen told Liam McKeone of SI.com. “But at the same time, I still didn’t win a Super Bowl. Didn’t win a ring, and that is the only goal. It’s the only focus that I’ve ever had going into this league.”
