The reason Josh Allen is making his NFL MVP case this season while playing with such joyful abandon is obvious to Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins.

The Buffalo Bills have seen superstar quarterback Josh Allen take his game to another level so far this season.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen should win the Associated Press’ 2024 NFL Most Valuable Player Award. No player in the league provides more individual value to their franchise than Allen, and it’s not particularly close in a year where he’s carried the team to an 11-3 record.

Drake Maye has a ways to go if he wants to reach Josh Allen’s level on the gridiron. But through just 10 career games, the Patriots rookie QB’s arm strength and mobility have already drawn plenty of comparisons to the Bills star signal caller.

While Sunday's Patriots-Bills showdown will likely be a one-sided affair, there is an added level of excitement with Josh Allen and Drake Maye set to go head-to-head for the first time.

Though the Patriots rookie has only made nine NFL starts, it sounds like he already has a fan in Allen. The MVP frontrunner offered some lofty praise for Maye in Orchard Park on Wednesday afternoon, saying he’s already earned his respect despite a limited sample size.
