Most people consider Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs to be the best quarterback in the NFL right now.
But the Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen and Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals are right behind him on most people’s rankings.
Allen and Burrow lead two of the AFC’s favorites to reach and possibly win the Super Bowl, but they’re very different players that get things done in contrasting ways.
According to Chiefs star defensive lineman Chris Jones, they also have different personalities — Allen loves to talk trash, while Burrow is polite and respectful.
Ones polite, one's nasty.

Allen is one of the league’s best dual-threat quarterbacks, and he was a big reason why Buffalo was among the league leaders in rushing yards last season.
He ran for 762 yards and seven touchdowns while throwing for 4,283 yards and 35 touchdowns, which earned him his second trip to the Pro Bowl.
The Bills were considered the favorites to win it all last year, but instead, things fell apart for them down the stretch.
They had to endure safety Damar Hamlin’s health scare before they got rolled by the Bengals in the divisional round of the playoffs.
While Allen gets things done with force, Burrow is more of a steady hand who stays calm in multiple situations.
In two full seasons as a starter (his rookie year was cut short by a severe knee injury), he has led the Bengals to two AFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl appearance.
After the Chiefs lost standout wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster this offseason, the window may be open for the Bengals to finally win it all this year.
