The Buffalo Bills are in first place in the AFC East at 4-2, and that is because of the play of Josh Allen.
Longtime media personality Skip Bayless recently said that Allen has distanced himself from the other quarterbacks around the league.
“Josh Allen is leading the league in QBR … (Allen’s) starting to look like the quarterback in the NFL,” the host said on “The Skip Bayless Show.”

Allen has 10 touchdown passes this season and has not thrown an interception.
He has posted four games with a QBR better than 85.0.
If he wasn’t already playing like the best quarterback in football, he now has the opportunity to be even better with the arrival of Pro Bowl wide receiver Amari Cooper.
The Bills acquired him in a trade with the Cleveland Browns and are in the process of getting him up to speed with the playbook.
Allen has been able to find plenty of success with his current cast of pass-catchers, but the addition of Cooper likely takes this offense to a whole new level.
The 30-year-old has put up more than 1,000 yards multiple times in each of his stops during his career (Oakland Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, Browns).
If he and Allen can build a connection, the rest of the AFC might want to get out of the way.
Bills fans should be very excited to know they again have the makings of a title-contending team.
