Five Takeaways: Bills roll through Jets, clinch No. 2 seed; Is Allen the MVP?
‘The modest effort against New York may have left Allen’s MVP candidacy in question, as it remains to be seen whether or not Buffalo’s starters will suit up in a meaningless Week 18 matchup against the New England Patriots. I would imagine Allen will at least play a series to continue his consecutive starts streak, but am not sure what we will see from him beyond a few plays.’
Sabato: Bills always searching for ways to keep the chase fresh after pummeling Jets
‘“Not to say that we weren’t in the past, but it’s a different bond,” Allen said. “A real sense of tightness and sense of family in this locker room. We’re going out there, we’re happy for each other’s success. We want everybody to succeed and we want to help do our part.”’

Who will Bills play in NFL playoffs? Scenarios, potential wild card matchups for Buffalo
‘They were able to do that and will face the AFC’s No. 7 seed, which can only be one of four possible teams. They are as follows: Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins, Cincinnati Bengals.’
Bills clinch the AFC’s No. 2 seed with a 40-14 rout of the undisciplined Jets
‘“It speaks to the staff that we’ve got here, the guys that we’ve got in this locker room, how this team is put together and the culture that we have,” Allen said. “We didn’t really pay attention to the preseason notions, but we heard them and we saw them and we knew what people were saying. But it had no effect on us.”’
Bills troll Jets with Pop-Tarts video after clinching No. 2 seed in AFC playoffs
‘Buffalo, which put together an epic social media presence over the course of the 2024 regular season, had one last video edit directed at New York once the game was finished.’
Buffalo Bills agree: QB Josh Allen 'is the MVP for sure'
‘”I don’t know what more else he could do,” right tackle Spencer Brown said. “That’s consistency … he does it with anybody that he gets his hands on. I mean, it’s pretty clear-cut for me. And then now people are saying, ‘Oh, it’s a Charles Barkley MVP.’ I’m like, ‘Ah, he’s the only player to ever do that.’ … It’s not up to me. I don’t vote. But 17 is the MVP for sure.”‘
Bills WR Amari Cooper makes leaping grab for 30-yard TD
‘On second-and-13, Allen stepped back in the pocket before launching the ball into the end zone with Cooper making a leaping catch. He hit the ground hard but held on to the football. Cooper was slow to get up after the play and was later evaluated for a head injury and cleared.’
Bills' Josh Allen ties Thurman Thomas' franchise rushing touchdown record in Week 17 vs. Jets
‘Bills quarterback Josh Allen ran for his 65th career touchdown in Week 17, tying him for the franchise record with Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas. Thomas, the league’s MVP in 1991, helped the Bills become the first franchise to play in four consecutive Super Bowls from 1990-93.’
Bills HC Sean McDermott Gives Simple Reason Why Josh Allen Should Be the NFL MVP
‘”Josh Allen is the MVP,” McDermott said candidly. “I’ve been around this league long enough to know, to see MVPs every year for many years, and what he has done on this team and this organization, in this community—and no offense to anybody else—but I have a hard time believing that someone’s done more.”‘
Bills head coach Sean McDermott calls for Josh Allen to win MVP
‘”Josh Allen is the MVP,” McDermott said. “I’ve been around this league long enough to know. To see MVP’s every year for many years and what he has done on this team, in this organization, in this community – and no offense to anybody else – but I’ve got a hard time believing that someone has done more.”‘
Bills future Hall of Famer Von Miller says he's never seen anything like what Josh Allen has done in 2024
‘”Yeah of course,” Miller said. “I’ve played with Peyton Manning and Matthew Stafford… what Josh is doing this year is totally different.”‘
Bills' Josh Allen, Amari Cooper connect on historical touchdown vs. Jets
‘For Amari Cooper, he eclipsed 10,000 receiving yards on the catch. For Allen, he now has 43 games with a rushing and passing touchdown, just two behind Cam Newton for the NFL record. It was also Allen’s 40th total touchdown of the season, extending his own NFL record to five straight seasons in doing so.’
Amari Cooper achieves huge milestone in Bills blowout win
‘The 10-year veteran caught three passes for 56 yards and a touchdown during the Bills’ 40-14 win over the Jets on Sunday, passing the 10,000-yard mark in his eighth game since being traded from Cleveland to Buffalo.’
