Josh Allen took a massive leap between his second and third seasons to become one of the game's brightest stars. In the last two years, he's thrown for 35+ touchdowns, 4,400+ yards, and has put up completion rates well above 60%.
Aside from his rookie year, the Buffalo Bills have won at least 10 games in each campaign Allen has been under center, paving the way for the Wyoming product to have some impressive records against his NFL foes. His play has even garnered some high praise from one of the best defenders in league history.

Allen vs the Kansas City Chiefs
It's only fair that we begin with the Kansas City Chiefs, since Allen played in one the most exciting playoff games ever against K.C. in the 2022 NFL Divisional Round.
Just like the Bills, the Chiefs have a young superstar of their own in Patrick Mahomes, and the former MVP helped his club narrowly escape with a 42-36 victory to advance in the postseason.
The game marked the second time that Allen had fallen to the Chiefs.
Allen and the Bills lost to the Chiefs again in the 2024 Divisional Round despite entering the game as 2.5-point home favorites. Kansas City rallied from a 17-14 deficit at halftime behind a gusty performance from Mahomes to pull off a 27-24 win at Orchard Park.
For what it's worth, Allen has had tremendous success against the Chiefs in the regular season, as evidenced by his 4-1 record against the franchise. His latest victory against KC came in Week 11 of the 2024 season when he led the Bills to a convincing 30-21 win that ended the Chiefs' bid for a perfect season.
Allen vs the Miami Dolphins
Moving on to divisional opponents, Allen has had relative ease with the Miami Dolphins thus far in his career. He's dropped only two games to the Florida squad and has dominated their defense more often than not. In 14 regular season games against Miami, Allen has thrown for 37 TDs and over 3,000 yards.
Getting to see this team twice per year definitely has its perks for Allen and the Bills.
Josh Allen has the 12th highest total ever for rush yards in a game by a QB with 135. He did so against the Miami Dolphins on 12/2/18. #GoBills #BillsMafia #Bills

Allen vs the New England Patriots
Now that we've discussed what divisional opponent Allen has massacred, it's time to talk about the team that has provided him with the most trouble. There are two sides to this story: Allen was 0-3 against the Tom Brady-led Pats, but has since gone 6-2 after TB12 split for greener pastures.
Depending on how well Mac Jones can continue to develop, New England may be the only team that can keep Allen at bay, or he may just continue to crush the Pats as they continue their post-Brady downward spiral.

Allen vs the Minnesota Vikings
It may be hard to believe, but Allen wasn't always seen as a can't-miss superstar. In a rough rookie season with the Bills, he threw 10 TDs alongside 12 interceptions, and Buffalo went 5-6 in games he played. However, there was one game that stood out from the rest.
In the third game of the season, Allen led the Bills to a 27-6 smacking of the Minnesota Vikings, with the QB throwing for 196 yards and one TD, and rushing for two scores. Oh, and this happened:

Allen vs the New York Jets
We've already talked about Allen pumping the Miami Dolphins, but there is one more AFC East opponent he's enjoyed success against. Although not as dominant, Allen is 8-4 against the New York Jets, including winning seven of the last nine meetings.
The latest victory came in Week 6 of the 2024 season as Allen three two touchdown passes to lead the Bills to a narrow 23-20 win on the road.
