Josh Allen is a first-time NFL MVP after winning the award during Thursday night's NFL Honors. The 28-year-old Buffalo Bills quarterback spawned MVP chatter relatively early in the 2024 season after multiple history-making games, including one in which he threw for a touchdown, ran in a touchdown, and also caught a touchdown pass.

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.
