‘The outcome proved to be different for this award. A primary reason Allen might have won is due to the “most valuable” part of the award. Though Jackson had a better season statistically, he also had a better supporting cast overall. After the Bills traded Stefon Diggs and parted ways with several of their veterans last offseason, many didn’t think they’d make the playoffs, let alone win the division. Thanks to Allen, the Bills proved to be sure-fire contenders from early in the season.’

Miami Dolphins star says Bills Pro Bowler 'terrorized' him in welcome to NFL moment
‘”Buffalo’s o-line,” Robinson said. “Specifically Dion Dawkins. He gave me my welcome to the league moment. I mean both games, he gave me a welcome to the league moment. I would go against him every single play, I lined up on him and he was just terrorizing me. Seeing him on film, he moves good. But when you’re out there on the field and going against him, he moves just as good as I can getting off the ball.”‘
Why Josh Allen won 2024 NFL MVP award over Lamar Jackson, Saquon Barkley
‘This season’s race never became quite that clear, despite Jackson putting up even stronger numbers than last season.

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin snubbed from winning Comeback Player of the Year for second straight season
‘Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow took home the award after missing most of last season with a wrist injury, returning in 2024 to throw for 43 touchdowns and just under 5,000 yards. And while Burrow was a deserving winner, fans will likely be wondering why Hamlin missed out on the award again when what he went through was for more devastating than just another injury.’
Bills adding high-profile defensive coach after defensive struggles vs Chiefs in playoffs
‘The Bills are adding former Falcons and Jaguars defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen to their coaching staff as a senior defensive assistant. Nielsen was seen as one of the hires of the 2024 offseason by the Jaguars after a terrific year with the Falcons in 2023. However, a lack of talent combined with a lackluster, seemingly checked out head coach and a team that lacked vision and purpose really derailed the Jaguars’ season, and in turn made Nielsen a one-and-done defensive coordinator in Jacksonville.’

Opinion: Beane will keep plugging away
‘Beane was right on both of those counts. Since 2019, the Beane/McDermott Bills have gone 71-28 in the regular season which is a winning percentage of .717. They’ve made the playoffs in each of those six seasons. They’ve won the last five AFC East division titles. They’ve made two appearances in the AFC Championship game in the last five years. The Bills are 7-6 in the postseason in that stretch. 0-4 against the Chiefs and 7-2 against all other teams.’
Opinion: 2025 State of the Bills: Running backs
