Will Josh Allen Play Tonight Against the Kansas City Chiefs?

Contrary to his rival Patrick Mahomes, who is facing ankle issues, Josh Allen is clear of any injury and will enter the field ready to fire on all cylinders. While it is the season-defining game for the Buffalo Bills, Allen is also in a must-win situation. 

As Patrick Mahomes has always got the better of Josh in the playoffs, a new NFL record would be set if he records yet another victory over him tonight. In the long history of the league, it has never happened that a QB has collected four wins over his counterpart in the playoffs. Josh Allen would leave no stone unturned to avoid going down on the opposite end of the unwanted record. Thus, it will be Mahomes vs Allen tonight?
