“Bills’ Allen named MVP at NFL Honors, recognized as league’s best”
Table of Contents
The top NFL players of the season are acknowledged through All-Pro and Pro Bowl selections, with Josh Allen being designated as the Pro Bowl starter for the AFC Conference, surpassing Lamar Jackson.
Nevertheless, All-Pro selections are regarded as more prestigious due to the limited number of players chosen, and Jackson was selected ahead of Allen for the All-Pro first team.
Typically, this distinction would carry weight in the NFL MVP race.
The panel of 50 broadcasters and journalists responsible for the All-Pro selections also determines the NFL MVP, and the last instance in which the first-team All-Pro quarterback did not also receive the MVP award was in 1987.
Votes are submitted at the conclusion of the regular season; therefore, despite Allen’s Buffalo defeating Jackson’s Baltimore in the playoffs—before ultimately losing to the defending champions, Kansas City—this outcome will not influence the decision regarding this season’s NFL MVP.
Who won 2024-2025 NFL MVP?
Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, received the NFL Most Valuable Player award for the first time in his career during the NFL Honors ceremony held at the Saenger Theater on Thursday, February 6, 2025. This announcement was made prior to Super Bowl 59, which is scheduled to take place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. In the 2024-2025 AP NFL MVP award voting, Josh Allen triumphed over the runner-up, Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens, with a score of 383 to 362, aided by a single fourth-place vote for Jackson. The detailed results are as follows:
When were the 2024-2025 NFL MVP finalists announced?
The announcement of the finalists for the 2024-2025 NFL MVP took place on January 23, 2025.
Lamar Jackson, the quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was awarded the 2024 Pro Football Writers of America NFL MVP award. This victory marks his third win, placing him in a tie with Tom Brady for the second-most PFWA NFL MVP awards. Both Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers hold the record with four awards each.
Who is favourite to win NFL MVP?
The primary candidates for this season’s NFL MVP are Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, and Lamar Jackson, the quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens.
Allen distinguished himself in the MVP competition with an impressive performance at the beginning of December, leading the Bills to a final record of 13-4.
Jackson, who earned the MVP title for the second time last year, concluded the season on a high note, contributing to the Ravens’ 12-5 record and narrowing the gap with Allen.
Determining who had the superior season is challenging; however, Allen is currently favored, with his supporters contending that he holds greater value for Buffalo than Jackson does for Baltimore.
The Bills made a significant trade of their top receiver during the off-season, while the Ravens acquired one of the league’s premier running backs, Derrick Henry.
Henry amassed 1,921 rushing yards, ranking second only to Saquon Barkley of Philadelphia, and the Ravens’ receiving corps is considered stronger than that of the Bills, placing additional responsibility on Allen to perform effectively.
Furthermore, the Ravens boasted six All-Pro selections, in contrast to Buffalo’s single selection—Allen himself.
Currently, Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, and Aaron Rodgers are the only active players who have previously won the MVP award. Is it time for Allen to be included among them?
