Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen Wins NFL MVP Award
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been named the NFL's Most Valuable Player for the first time, showcasing remarkable performance throughout the season.
The Buffalo Bills quarterback was named the NFL's Most Valuable Player for the first time on Thursday.
Fans wondered what Allen would do after the Bills traded Stefon Diggs in the offseason. However, he clearly was just fine.
Allen threw 28 touchdowns against a career-low six interceptions while also scoring a dozen touchdowns with his legs. His 77.4 QBR was the NFL's best, which is impressive considering he didn't have household names to throw to. Khalil Shakir led the team in targets (100), receptions (76), and yards (821).
Allen benefited from a subpar division, clinching the AFC East on Dec. 1. It became clear that as long as Allen is in the fold, the Bills will have a chance to compete.
He narrowly beat out Lamar Jackson for the MVP award, and the AFC divisional round may have foreshadowed the vote as Allen's Bills won a close 27-25 game against Baltimore two and a half weeks ago.
Despite being unable to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs for a fourth time during the AFC title game, Allen finally has the long-coveted MVP on his resume, having also surpassed candidates Saquon Barkley, Joe Burrow, and Jared Goff.
