Josh Allen’s historic 2024 regular season has earned the Buffalo Bills QB one of the NFL’s highest honors, the AP Most Valuable Player.
Allen finished his 7th career season with 4,269 total yards, 41 total touchdowns and the fewest turnovers of his career (8). Among his many NFL records set this season, Allen became the first player in NFL history with 5 straight 40+ total TD seasons.
Led by Allen, the Bills exceeded preseason expectations by finishing with a 13-4 record and a fifth-straight AFC East division title. Throughout the 2024 season, Allen cemented himself as the league’s most valuable player with jaw-dropping plays, remarkable statistical achievements and continued team success. Allen is the first Bills player since RB Thurman Thomas (1991) to win NFL MVP, and first Bills QB ever to do so.
Allen won the award with 27 first place votes and 383 total points. Runner-up QB Lamar Jackson received 23 first place votes and 362 total points.
Allen also picked up hardware for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award and as one of the FedEx Air & Ground Players of the Year.
Other Bills up for awards included:
- Safety Damar Hamlin who was a finalist for The Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow won that award.
- Left Tackle Dion Dawkins was nominated for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award, which was won by Arik Armstead, Jaguars defensive lineman.
- Offensive coordinator Joe Brady was a finalist for The Associated Press Assistant Coach of the Year, which went to Ben Johnson, former Lions offensive coordinator. Johnson will serve as head coach of the Chicago Bears in the 2025 season.
