What happened: Allen stayed at the center of the NFL conversation Friday as acclaim for his opening stretch kept building. Wire Report has already documented a two-game start with nine total touchdowns and zero turnovers.

Why it matters: That mix of production and ball security has strengthened Allen's early MVP case and given fresh weight to his No. 2 spot on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026. Early-season quarterback races can swing fast, but Allen has given himself a clear head start.

What to watch: The next checkpoint is whether Allen can keep the turnover column empty as the sample grows past two games. Another efficient week would keep the early MVP push moving.
