Josh Allen did everything he could in the Buffalo Bills' loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. 

He kept his team in the game until the final moments, while further cementing himself in the NFL record books on numerous different plays. 

And one NFL quarterback sent a clear message, explaining how Bills Mafia has one thing to smile about despite a devastating loss. 

"The Bills lost and Josh Allen still improved his MVP case," Robert Griffin III wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. 

He's not wrong. 

Allen finished the game going 22-of-37 for 342 yards and three passing touchdowns, along with 10 carries for 82 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. 

He's the first player all-time to have three passing and three rushing touchdowns in a single game. And even the NFL's official account had to give the Bills quarterback a shoutout despite the loss. 

This was also his 10th career game with 300+ passing yards and 50+ rushing yards, which further extends his NFL record. 

Allen has been playing very well this season, and is making a very strong case to be the league MVP for the 2024-25 season. Prior to the game against the Rams, Allen led the Bills to impressive wins over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, along with the San Francisco 49ers in a blizzard. 

A loss always stings, but the Bills have already clinched a spot in the playoffs. And if Allen wins league MVP, then nobody will be talking about this game anymore.
