Allen is receiving attention at the Super Bowl, with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy acknowledging and praising him for his impressive statistical performance this season during a press conference leading up to the championship game on Sunday. Purdy, when asked about his fantasy football team, began by mentioning his teammates, including running back Christian McCaffrey.
Purdy expressed a desire to include his entire team in his fantasy lineup, then, after a brief pause and being informed about Allen’s strong statistical performance, he selected Allen as his quarterback for the fantasy team.
Purdy commended Josh Allen, acknowledging his impressive performance by saying, “Josh Allen, balling.” This choice would have been prudent, as per ESPN’s fantasy football scoring system, Allen ranked second in total points for the season, just behind Ceedee Lamb. Allen’s exceptional rushing skills played a significant role, with both him and Jalen Hurts tying an NFL record for quarterbacks with 15 rushing touchdowns each.
