Why the NFL MVP award is already Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen's to lose - CBS Sports

Josh Allen already looks like the NFL MVP frontrunner after a fast start to the 2026 season, according to CBS Sports’ analysis. Playing in Buffalo’s new $2.2 billion stadium in Orchard Park, the Bills quarterback torched the Detroit Lions in Week 2, completing 20 of 31 passes for 248 yards and rushing 14 times for 69, with five total touchdowns. In Week 1 versus the Houston Texans, Allen went 20-of-29 for 334 yards and two passing touchdowns, plus two rushing touchdowns. Over 18 Bills offensive drives this season, he has accounted for 10 touchdowns, three field goals and one turnover on downs. Allen is one of three players in league history with nine-plus total touchdowns and zero turnovers in his first two games; only Mahomes (2018) and Peyton Manning (2013) share that start.
