Why Could a Historic, Record-Breaking Season for the Bills Star Not Receive the Deserved Recognition from the NFL?

Josh Allen continues to redefine what it means to be a game-changer in the NFL. Leading the Buffalo Bills to an emphatic 40-14 victory over the New York Jets, Allen has elevated the team to a stellar 13-3 season record. The MVP conversation surrounding him is heating up—and for all the right reasons. His contributions are not just evident in the Bills’ wins but also etched into the history books.

As Allen wraps up his remarkable seventh NFL season, the chatter about his potential MVP win and a deep Super Bowl run is louder than ever. He’s not just breaking franchise records; he’s setting new benchmarks across the league.

With 65 career rushing touchdowns, Allen now shares a space with Bills legend Thurman Thomas. He has surpassed all quarterbacks in wins during their first seven seasons, tallying 76 victories, while also amassing 30,595 total yards and 262 total touchdowns. Perhaps the most astonishing stat is that Allen leads all quarterbacks in total touchdowns through eight seasons—despite still being in the midst of his seventh.

What we’re witnessing is nothing short of historic.

The NFL community is abuzz with debates about this year’s MVP, with Allen and Lamar Jackson emerging as the top contenders. While the stats are endlessly dissected, one thing remains constant: Allen’s unwavering support from Bills Mafia, his teammates, and his coaches. Their backing of QB1 has been vocal and steadfast.

From Von Miller praising Allen’s unique and standout season, likening his performances to legends like Peyton Manning and Matthew Stafford, to Spencer Brown declaring Allen the “clear-cut” MVP, the faith in Allen’s capabilities is unmistakable.

Allen’s selflessness was on full display Sunday. Instead of padding his own stats, he handed the ball to James Cook for a touchdown, allowing Cook to inch closer to O.J. Simpson’s franchise record for most touchdowns in a season by a running back. Cook is now just one score away from surpassing that historic milestone.

For Allen and the Bills, the ultimate goal remains the Lombardi Trophy. Yet, adding an MVP award to Allen’s accolades would be a crowning achievement. With an active streak of 114 consecutive game starts—the longest current streak in the NFL and 15th all-time—Allen’s durability and dedication to the game are undeniable.

Allen’s commitment and relentless drive signal that he’s willing to give everything for the team. The MVP award might just be the next milestone in his extraordinary career.
