Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen won the 2024 NFL Most Valuable Player Award, receiving it during the annual NFL Honors. He defeated Lamar Jackson, Saquon Barkley, Joe Burrow, and Jared Goff by getting 76.6 percent of the votes for 383 vote points.
Allen has been highly valuable for the Bills this season because he did not have other All-Pro teammates. Meanwhile, he only had three Pro Bowler teammates (James Cook, Dion Dawkins, Connor McGovern). Allen delivered damage to opponents using his arm and his feet. He finished the season with 307 completions for 3,731 passing yards and 28 touchdowns.
Likewise, the former Wyoming standout added 531 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. His efforts helped finish the regular season with a 13-4 record and reach the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
We’re all so proud of you.
