LARAMIE, Wyoming (12/17/24) – It was the most expensive ticket to date for an NFL game this season. It featured the hottest team in the league playing at home where they hadn’t lost all year.

All eyes were on Detroit for its game against Buffalo on Sunday afternoon. And at the end of day, it’s all but a certainty that the Most Valuable Player in 2024-25 will be awarded to a former University of Wyoming student-athlete. 

Josh Allen was as sharp as he could be for the second consecutive week. He was 23-for-34 for 362 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran it 11 times for 68 yards and two more scores. Over the last two weeks, Allen had accounted for five passing touchdowns and five rushing touchdowns without a turnover.

For the season, Allen is 275-for-427 for 3,395 yards with 25 touchdowns and just five picks. He’s rushed it 91 times for 484 yards and 11 scores.

Buffalo, which is 11-3, hosts New England in Week 16. 

Below is a list of the other former Wyoming Cowboys and how they performed in Week 15.
