The Buffalo Bills faced a tough defeat against the Atlanta Falcons, marking their second consecutive loss. This result has ignited criticism towards quarterback Josh Allen as fans express their disappointment.
Key Events from the Game
On Monday night, the Bills struggled, contributing to a shift in the Super Bowl and MVP betting dynamics. While Allen is still a leading MVP contender, his odds now sit at +200, tied with Patrick Mahomes. Baker Mayfield follows closely with odds of +400.
Allen’s Performance Under Scrutiny
The Bills’ offensive performance was lackluster, particularly in the absence of injured players Dalton Kincaid and Curtis Samuel. A questionable decision by Allen resulted in a shovel pass during a crucial fourth down, which many viewed as a turning point.
