Josh Allen Secures First NFL MVP Award at 2025 NFL Honors

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Josh Allen, quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, was named the 2024-2025 NFL Most Valuable Player at the annual NFL Honors ceremony held at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans on Feb. 7. This marks Allen’s first MVP award in his seven-year NFL career.

The ceremony, hosted in the city of Super Bowl LIX, celebrated the league’s top performers from the 2024-2025 season. Allen’s standout performance, which included over 3,000 passing yards, 28 touchdowns, and just six interceptions, set him apart from a formidable group of nominees: Lamar Jackson, Saquon Barkley, Joe Burrow, and Jared Goff.

‘Josh has been the heartbeat of this team all season,’ said Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott. ‘His leadership and ability to perform under pressure have been instrumental in our success. This award is a testament to his hard work and dedication.’

Allen, 28, has established himself as one of the league’s elite quarterbacks. His ability to deliver in high-stakes moments and guide the Bills to another playoff appearance solidified his MVP candidacy. Despite strong competition, Allen’s efficiency and leadership earned him the prestigious honor.

‘It’s an incredible feeling, but this isn’t just about me,’ Allen said during his acceptance speech. ‘This is about every teammate, coach, and supporter who’s been part of this journey. We’re not done yet.’

In addition to Allen’s MVP recognition, the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025 was announced, featuring legendary players Antonio Gates, Eric Allen, Sterling Sharpe, and Jared Allen.

Allen’s victory comes as the NFL season prepares for its climax at Super Bowl LIX. The Bills quarterback will now look to build on this success as he continues his pursuit of a championship.
