  "account": "Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen put on an impressive performance in the team's Week 1 victory over the Houston Texans, which has caught the eye of former All-Pro quarterback Russell Wilson. In the 36-31 win, Allen threw for 334 yards and scored four touchdowns, a stark contrast to his poor Week 12 showing against the same opponents last season where he threw two interceptions and didn't score a touchdown. Wilson, speaking on CBS Sports' weekly show Set, Hut!, is convinced that Allen is the favorite to win his second NFL MVP award this season. He credits the new stadium, new coach, Joe Brady, and the overall fresh starts that the Bills have made. Allen's early season form is particularly noteworthy as typically, it doesn't carry much weight when MVP votes are cast. However, Wilson believes that Allen's performance sets him up well for consistent strong play in the upcoming matches.",
