Josh Allen Battles Injuries as Bills Edge Patriots in Tight Win

Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen, playing through a fractured hand and a recent elbow contusion, remains pivotal in the Bills' playoff push and MVP race.

Josh Allen sustained a right elbow contusion during the Bills' 24-21 victory over the Patriots, causing temporary numbness in his throwing hand but was cleared to finish the game.
Allen has played most of the season with a fractured left hand, an injury he suffered in Week 1, but has not missed any games and is now reportedly fully healed.
Despite the injuries, Allen has led the Bills to a 12-3 record, keeping them in contention for the AFC's top playoff seed and solidifying his MVP candidacy.
In frigid conditions, Allen struggled against New England, completing 16 of 29 passes for 154 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, while also rushing for 30 yards.
The Bills remain two games behind the Chiefs for the AFC's No. 1 seed and need to win their final games, while hoping Kansas City loses both, to secure home-field advantage in the playoffs.
