Allen torched a Chiefs defense that was falling down on a lot of the plays. Wide open receivers. I think Mahomes outplayed him in that 13 seconds game. Mahomes was going against the #1 ranked defense in the league. ESPN QBR grades were 97/100 for Mahomes and 92/100 for Allen in that game. So I'm gonna strongly disagree with your statement that Allen outplayed him in that game. Apparently ESPN agrees with me on it.
The Bengals in 2021 had a much better defense than the 2021 Chiefs defense. So hell no, I don't think Allen would have torched the Bengals for 4 quarters. Stafford & Mahomes weren't able to do it. Josh Allen himself has not been able to do it when he went against that Cincy defense in 2022 and 2023.
