Former Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told Chris Simms to “keep watching” Josh Allen, comparing the Bills quarterback’s Super Bowl criticism to Peyton Manning’s early career. Allen has yet to reach a Super Bowl, and fans were divided over the comparison.
Allen, an MVP winner, opened the 2026 season with 582 passing yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions, plus 92 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns through two games. Buffalo started 2-0.
Tomlin pointed to Manning, who faced years of criticism before winning a championship with Indianapolis in the 2006 season. Fans’ responses to the comparison included both skepticism and support for Tomlin’s “keep watching” message.
