‘Not only is he the Bills’ MVP, he is the NFL MVP. Allen put together the most efficient season of his career, totaling 41 touchdowns to just six interceptions while throwing touchdowns to 12 different players. Putting together this type of season while only having one wide receiver return from the 2023 team is nothing short of incredible, and he continues to rewrite NFL record books on a near weekly basis. He is the face of the city of Buffalo and the NFL’s best player of 2024.’
