  "summary": "The NFL regular season is approaching, and analysts are taking a closer look at the quarterbacks in the league. Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, has found himself in a controversial ranking battle with Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs. While Mahomes has had the upper hand in recent years, winning three Super Bowl rings and beating Allen in the playoffs four times, Fox Sports believes that Allen is the number one quarterback heading into the new season. Allen has consistently finished in the top five in MVP voting and has averaged 3,700 passing yards and 27 touchdowns over the last two seasons. Despite a questionable arsenal of weapons and no true No. 1 receiver, Allen is still considered to have the strongest arm in the game. This could be the season for Allen to finally end his championship drought and potentially surpass Mahomes in the rankings.",
