Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was officially named the NFL MVP for the 2024 season, narrowly beating out Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson to take home his first career MVP award.

Allen, 28, is the third Bills player to win league MVP, joining Hall of Fame running backs Thurman Thomas (1991) and O.J. Simpson (1973). Bills fullback Cookie Gilchrist (1962) and quarterback Jack Kemp (1965) won league MVP honors during Buffalo's years in the AFL, which merged with the NFL after the 1969 season.
