Allen, 28, is the third Bills player to win league MVP, joining Hall of Fame running backs Thurman Thomas (1991) and O.J. Simpson (1973). Bills fullback Cookie Gilchrist (1962) and quarterback Jack Kemp (1965) won league MVP honors during Buffalo's years in the AFL, which merged with the NFL after the 1969 season.

Josh Allen has been named the 2024 NFL MVP. Allen won the award at the NFL Honors ceremony on Thursday and to a degree, it was surprising. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was selected as the AFC’s first-team, All-Pro QB over Allen. In most cases, that means Jackson would be named the MVP too.

Sal Maiorana says the uproar over Josh Allen winning NFL MVP is ridiculous because Allen was the right choice.
