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.

Accused of being the NFL's most overrated player prior to the 2024 season, Buffalo Bills' quarterback Josh Allen is now the league's Most Valuable Player. In the NFL MVP voting, Allen earned a tight victory over Baltimore Ravens' quarterback Lamar Jackson,

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.
