NFL MVP 2024-25: Award Winner, Voting Results and Twitter Reaction

Josh Allen was selected as the 2024-25 MVP on Thursday night, earning the honor for the first time in his career.

Allen also became the first quarterback in Buffalo Bills history to win the award.

He received 383 votes, including 27 first-place votes. He narrowly beat out Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who earned 362 total votes and 23 first-place votes.

It represented the closest MVP finish since 2016, via the Associated Press.

While fans, pundits and players alike recognized the close finish between Allen and Jackson, they also complimented the Bills signal-caller for the victory.

Allen finished the regular season by completing 63.6 percent of his passes for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns compared to a career-low six interceptions. He also remained a threat on the ground, rushing for 531 yards and 12 scores.

The 28-year-old earned the third Pro Bowl nod of his career and led the NFL with a 77.3 QBR.

Allen also helped Buffalo clinch its fifth consecutive AFC East crown, ending the regular season with a 13-4 record before advancing to the AFC Championship Game.

He continued to excel in the playoffs, throwing for 636 yards and four touchdowns without getting picked off in three postseason starts.

His success was impressive considering the Bills' lack of a top wide receiver, as Khalil Shakir was the only player on the team to average over 50 receiving yards per game. Shakir was also Buffalo's only receiving option to reach 50 catches during the regular season.

Allen put together another efficient season in the pocket without a supporting cast as strong as past years, resulting in the first MVP victory of his career.
