Josh Allen was named The Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player for the first time, denying Lamar Jackson a second straight and third overall 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.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (top offensive player), Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (top offensive rookie) and Broncos CB Patrick Surtain II (top defensive player).
