There was a lot of drama at NFL Honors on Thursday and most of that came from the MVP race. In one of the closest votes of the night, Josh Allen ended up taking home the award after edging out Lamar Jackson . The fact that Allen won was so shocking that even Allen was surprised by the result.

Who won NFL MVP? The NFL Honors award voting came down to Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen and Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. Here are the results.

Josh Allen beat out two-time winner Lamar Jackson for the Most Valuable Player award in the closest race since Matt Ryan beat out Tom Brady in 2016.

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.

The MVP Award went to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who beat out Saquon Barkley, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow and Jared Goff. There also was the announcement of the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame class with Eric Allen, Jared Allen, Antonio Gates and Sterling Sharpe earning the honors.

Josh Allen is a first-time NFL MVP after winning the award during Thursday night's NFL Honors. The 28-year-old Buffalo Bills quarterback spawned MVP chatter relatively early in the 2024 season after multiple history-making games, including one in which he threw for a touchdown, ran in a touchdown, and also caught a touchdown pass.

In a result that surprised many, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen won the NFL's MVP award, edging out his Baltimore Ravens counterpart Lamar Jackson at the NFL Honors awards ceremony on Thursday night.
