Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen named a finalist for 2025 NFL MVP award

The Buffalo Bills were once again Super Bowl favorites thanks to Josh Allen.

The NFL announced the finalists for each of the major awards for the 2025 season, including Most Valuable Player. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was named a finalist once again, making this the fifth time he will be invited to the “NFL Honors” awards ceremony.

Fans will remember that Allen was named the NFL MVP for his performance during the 2024 season, where he delivered a memorable acceptance speech upon receiving the award. While there were some expectation that Allen would win the award last season, it would be more of a surprise if he won it this year. Despite a season where Allen accounted for 39 touchdowns (25 passing and 14 rushing) along with 4,147 total yards (3,668 passing and 579 rushing), he is considered a longshot to win the award behind quarterbacks Matthew Stafford (Los Angeles Rams) and Drake Maye (New England Patriots).

The other finalists for the award include quarterback Trevor Lawrence (Jacksonville Jaguars) and running back Christian McCaffrey (San Fransisco 49ers). This season’s winner will be announced during the annual “NFL Honors” show on February 5. It should also be noted that Allen is the only member of the Bills organization to be nominated, with running back James Cook III being snubbed for Offensive Player of the Year.
