Sean McVay Calls Josh Allen 'A Nightmare to Defend' After Rams' Win vs. Bills

Following the Los Angeles Rams' 44-42 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Rams head coach Sean McVay had MVP-level praise for Bills quarterback Josh Allen.

"(Josh Allen) is a nightmare to defend…. That's why he's a legitimate MVP candidate," McVay told reporters after the game.

Allen recorded 342 yards against the Rams, completing 22-of-37 passes with six touchdowns.

McVay's sentiment towards Allen can be summed up by five simple words.

"Josh Allen is an alien," McVay told reporters.

Allen and the Bills did not go down easy against the Rams, converting on 25 first downs while generating 445 total yards of offense.

After holding steady with seven points in each of the first three quarters, Allen led Buffalo to a 21-point fourth quarter to make things interesting.

"Some of the stuff that he can do and the things that he can create, we knew he was capable of doing that, he's shown that it's why he is as well respected and regarded in this league the way he is. It's all deserved and earned," McVay told reporters.

Prior to the Bills' loss on Sunday, Allen became the odds-on favorite to win MVP, with his six-touchdown game further fueling the conversation.

In addition, during Sunday's matchup, Allen became the first player of the Super Bowl era to record three passing touchdowns and three rushing touchdowns in the same game, according to CBS Sports, Cody Benjamin.

The 28-year-old will aim to further solidify his MVP campaign next Sunday on the road against the Detroit Lions.
