Welcome to the 'Madden' family, Josh Allen.
Allen is also the first Bills player to be named the cover athlete since the game started adding players in 1994.
Allen's ascent to become one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL has been a practice in patience. After a poor rookie season and an OK sophomore campaign, he's completed at least 63% of his passing attempts and thrown for at least 4,200 yards in each of the past three seasons. That's helped turn the Bills into one of the top teams in the AFC. However, Buffalo hasn't been able to advance past the Kansas City Chiefs or Cincinnati Bengals in the postseason.
Despite all that, the Bills still have the third-best odds to win the Super Bowl and the second-best odds to win the AFC , perAs if the Bills needed more nefarious energy to contend with during their Super Bowl aspirations, the"Madden" curse is one which will likely continuously be referenced all season.
The legend of the curse is that the player on the cover of that year's"Madden" game tragically suffers either a season-plaguing injury or sees a drop in productivity. There are a few past examples, but the curse appears to be slowly fading as the years move forward.
