Josh Allen has been a remarkable quarterback in the NFL over the last five seasons, breaking all kinds of records along the way. He’s the first player in NFL history to have five straight seasons of 40+ touchdowns, and he’s closing in on Jim Kelly at the top of most franchise records at only 28 years old.

Like Kelly, Allen is missing a Lombardi trophy. In recent years, the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes have stood in his way, losing to them in three of the last four postseasons. There’s been one other trend in his playoff history that will undoubtedly become a bigger narrative if Allen doesn’t get past the Ravens this weekend — Allen has a 1-3 record in the Divisional Round. In order to avoid the labels of being unable to get the job done, Allen simply must take the Bills deeper into the postseason.

I’m firmly in the camp that wins aren’t a playoff stat, but as the team goes, so goes the quarterback. Despite this less than stellar trend, Allen’s individual performances have him among the best quarterbacks in NFL history in terms of playoff stats.

In terms of yards per game, touchdowns per game, and touchdown to interception ratio, nobody has been better in NFL playoffs history than Josh Allen. He has the rare ability to elevate his game when it matters most.

In his playoff career, Allen has averaged 272.2 passing yards and 55.3 rushing yards per game, with 28 total touchdowns and only three interceptions. Allen’s playoff numbers are well above his already strong regular season numbers, where he has averaged 238.1 passing yards and 37.3 rushing yards per game.

Fair or not, no matter what his individual stats may look like, NFL fans will always come back to wins. Allen’s 1-3 Divisional Round record stands out like a sore thumb, and he has an opportunity this year to put that narrative behind him, starting against the Ravens.
