Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been named the 2024 National Football League Most Valuable Player.
It was widely considered to be an incredibly tight battle between Allen and his fellow front runner, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Other nominees included Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff, and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.
It wasn’t an entirely empty-handed night for two of the nominees. Barkley took home the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year award while Burrow won Comeback Player of the Year.
But after a season where Allen almost single-handedly powered the Bills to the AFC Championship – in a campaign where they were expected to struggle after the loss of many offensive weapons – the 28-year-old California native has taken the league’s top honor for the first time.
In his acceptance speech, Allen thanked his teammates, staff, his parents, and his fiancee Hailee Steinfeld.
