Overview

• Josh Allen is widely expected to win the NFL MVP award, despite having a statistically solid but not career-best season as the Buffalo Bills' quarterback.
• Allen's consistency and contributions to the Bills' success have made him the favorite in a year marked by uneven quarterback play across the league.
• Saquon Barkley, now with the Philadelphia Eagles, is on pace to break Eric Dickerson’s 40-year-old single-season rushing record with 2,123 projected yards.
• Barkley has been instrumental in transforming the Eagles into Super Bowl contenders, leading the NFL in rushing yards and excelling in critical late-game moments.
• The debate over MVP criteria has resurfaced, with some arguing the award disproportionately favors quarterbacks over other impactful positions like running back.
