Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen beat out Lamar Jackson to become NFL MVP for the first time in his career.
Allen and Jackson have dominated headlines throughout the 2024 campaign as the two have battled for the award. Other finalists included running back Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles, quarterback Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals, and passer Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions.
Allen led the Bills to a 13-win campaign with 41 total touchdowns – one receiving touchdown and 12 rushing scores – against just six interceptions. He became the first player in NFL history to record a passing, rushing, and receiving touchdown in a single game and was also the first to ever notch two touchdown passes and two rushing scores in consecutive games.
The 28-year-old has now hit 40-plus total touchdowns in five straight seasons, which is also the first time that feat has ever been accomplished.
