Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player on Thursday, winning over Lamar Jackson, Saquon Barkley, Joe Burrow, and Jared Goff. Allen delivered a strong season, throwing for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns with just six interceptions while adding 531 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. Leading Buffalo to a 13-4 record, he helped secure the AFC’s No. 2 seed behind the Kansas City Chiefs. In the conference championship game, Allen passed for 237 yards and two touchdowns, but the Bills fell short in a 32-29 thriller against Kansas City.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was named Offensive Rookie of the Year after an impressive debut season. The No. 2 overall pick out of LSU played a pivotal role in Washington’s turnaround from a four-win team to a 12-win contender, leading them to two playoff victories and an NFC Championship appearance. With 14 total wins, Daniels tied Ben Roethlisberger’s record for most victories by a rookie quarterback, including the postseason. He finished the season with 3,568 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and nine interceptions while adding 891 rushing yards and six scores.

His dual-threat ability made him a key factor in the Commanders’ resurgence and set the stage for a promising career.
