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.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was officially named the NFL MVP for the 2024 season, narrowly beating out Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson to take home his first career MVP award.

Josh Allen edged out Lamar Jackson again. Nearly three weeks after the Bills quarterback led Buffalo to a victory over the Ravens in the divisional round of the playoffs to end Baltimore’s season, Allen was named The Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player for the first time Thursday night.
