A Well-Deserved Honor
Last night, the NFL community witnessed history as our very own Josh Allen was crowned the 2024 AP NFL Most Valuable Player. In a nail-biting race, Allen secured 27 first-place votes, totaling 383 points, narrowly edging out Lamar Jackson’s 23 first-place votes and 362 points.
This achievement is not just a testament to Allen’s exceptional talent but also a monumental milestone for the Buffalo Bills franchise. Allen becomes the first Bills player to win the MVP award since Thurman Thomas in 1991.
Allen’s Incredible 2024 Season
Throughout the 2024 season, Allen demonstrated unparalleled leadership and versatility. He amassed 3,731 passing yards with 28 touchdowns and only six interceptions. On the ground, he added 531 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns, showcasing his elite dual-threat capabilities.
One of the most memorable moments of the season came during the Week 13 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, where Allen became the first quarterback in NFL history to record a passing, rushing, and receiving touchdown in the same game. This level of play solidified his case as the most dynamic and valuable player in the league.
Acceptance Speech and Gratitude
During his heartfelt acceptance speech at the NFL Honors in New Orleans, Allen expressed gratitude to his teammates, coaches, and the entire Bills organization. He emphasized that the MVP award is not just a personal accolade but a reflection of the collective effort and dedication of everyone involved.
“It takes a village,” Allen said, acknowledging the unwavering support of his teammates and the relentless passion of the Bills Mafia. His humility and team-first mentality continue to define his leadership both on and off the field.
A Proud Moment for Bills Mafia
As Bills fans, we’ve witnessed Allen’s journey from a promising rookie to the league’s most valuable player. His growth mirrors the resilience and passion of Buffalo itself. This MVP award is not just a personal accolade for Allen but a shared triumph for the entire Bills Mafia.
While the season concluded with a narrow loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship, Allen’s MVP recognition reinforces the bright future ahead for the Bills. With his leadership and the unwavering support of the fans, the Lombardi Trophy feels closer than ever.
What’s Next for Allen and the Bills?
With his MVP win, Josh Allen has cemented himself as one of the elite quarterbacks in the NFL. Now, all eyes are on the 2025 season, where the Bills will aim to take that final step toward a Super Bowl victory.
