Could this be the year when Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills make it to the Super Bowl? It's certainly a real possibility. The Bills cruised past the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night 35-10, while improving to 10-2 on the season. With the win, the Bills clinched a playoff berth while winning the AFC East title for this season.

While the Bills have clinched a playoff spot, they have more on their mind. With five games remaining, the Bills are eyeing the No. 1 seed in the conference.

After last night's win, Josh Allen spoke with ESPN saying that the Bills have their eyes set on getting the No. 1 seed in the AFC over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

"This one feels a little bit different, this early in the season," Allen said. "So, the cool thing about it, get to go out there, and we get to play free. There's really no repercussions for what we're doing, but at the same time, we're chasing the 1-seed. We understand that. We know that and we've got to keep getting better each and every week."

The Bills are the No. 2 seed in the AFC with the Chiefs holding the No. 1 seed at 11-1. If both teams finished the regular season with the same record, the Bills would own the tiebreaker due to their head-to-head victory against KC.

Josh Allen just keeps adding to his MVP highlight reel this season. On Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, Allen threw, rushed and caught a touchdown reception.

In the third quarter, from the seven-yard line, Allen completed a pass to wide receiver Amari Cooper on the outside, and as Cooper was being pushed back by a defender, Allen ran behind him in perfect position for Cooper to pitch him the ball.

After Cooper pitched the ball back to Allen, Allen ran to the outside, and dove for a diving touchdown as he crossed the pylon.

Allen threw for two touchdowns and rushed for a touchdown in the Bills' 35-10 rout. After this week, Allen is the favorite to win this year's MVP.
