Josh Allen Crowned 2024 NFL MVP Over Lamar Jackson
In one of the most highly anticipated MVP races in recent history, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been named the 2024 NFL Most Valuable Player, securing his first career MVP award. Allen edged out Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson in a tight race, marking a milestone in his already impressive career.
Allen’s 2024 season was nothing short of electrifying, leading the Bills with 3,731 passing yards, 28 touchdowns, and an additional 12 rushing touchdowns. His dual-threat ability kept defenses on edge, and his consistency under pressure helped the Bills secure a dominant playoff berth.
One of the highlights of his season came in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers, where Allen made history by scoring a passing, rushing, and receiving touchdown in the same game—a feat rarely seen in the modern NFL. This moment solidified his reputation as one of the league’s most versatile quarterbacks.
A Close MVP Battle With Lamar Jackson
The race for the MVP award was extremely competitive, with Allen securing 27 first-place votes, while Jackson came close with 23 first-place votes. Jackson, who had already won the 2019 MVP award, led one of the most explosive offenses in the league this season and posted a passer rating that ranked fourth-best in NFL history.
Many analysts believed that Jackson had a strong case for the award, particularly after his incredible performances that helped the Ravens finish with the best regular-season record in the AFC. However, Allen’s game-changing performances and historic statistical achievements ultimately tipped the scale in his favor.
Josh Allen’s Emotional MVP Speech
During his MVP acceptance speech, Allen expressed heartfelt gratitude toward his teammates, coaches, and the Bills Mafia.
“Be good, do good. God bless, and Go Bills,” he said, wrapping up his speech with the passion that has made him a fan favorite.
His win marks a historic moment for the Buffalo Bills, as he becomes the franchise’s first quarterback to win the MVP award. Fans in Buffalo and across the NFL celebrated Allen’s well-deserved recognition, praising his leadership and never-give-up mentality.
What’s Next for Josh Allen and the Bills?
With Allen now holding the MVP trophy, the big question remains: Can he lead the Bills to a Super Bowl victory? The Bills have come close in recent years, but playoff heartbreaks have kept them from lifting the Lombardi Trophy.
With this MVP award, Allen has cemented himself as one of the elite quarterbacks in the league, but his ultimate goal remains winning a championship. The Bills will head into next season with high expectations, and all eyes will be on Allen to see if he can deliver Buffalo its first-ever Super Bowl title.
