What makes Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen so hard to stop?

Stopping either Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen in the final moments of the 2021 AFC divisional game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills didn't seem possible. Two of the NFL's best quarterbacks exchanged blow after blow at Arrowhead Stadium.

Led by their quarterbacks, the teams combined for 25 points in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter, the second most in any game in the Super Bowl era. The game was the first in NFL history to feature both quarterbacks throwing for at least 300 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions and also running for at least 50 rushing yards. It served as a showcase for two of the NFL's most unique and productive players at the position.

MAHOMES HAS COMPLETED many unconventional passes in his four-plus seasons as an NFL starting quarterback, whether they be of the no-look, sidearmed or even left-handed variety.

He added to his collection in a recent Sunday night game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After being chased from the pocket and scrambling behind the line of scrimmage for 39.4 yards, Mahomes did a 360 spin to avoid a defender before flipping a 2-yard touchdown pass to running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

"The NFL hasn't seen anything like Mahomes, I promise you that,'' Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said after the game. "You saw it today. He's the Houdini of our era. The guy just finds ways to make plays throughout the game -- big-time third downs, big-time goal-line plays, just willing our team to the end zone, willing our team to win. That's our ultimate leader, man."

Kelce would undoubtedly get agreement from the opposing teams Mahomes has most thrived against. One is the Las Vegas Raiders. After a sparkling come-from-behind performance in a 30-29 Chiefs win on Monday night, Mahomes is 8-1 against the Raiders with 26 touchdowns and three interceptions.
