Buffalo Bills<\/a> quarterback Josh Allen did not win back-to-back NFL MVP Awards after taking home the honor in 2024.<\/p>\n

Instead, Los Angeles Rams<\/a> QB Matthew Stafford landed the hardware<\/a>… barely.<\/p>\n

And in a way, Allen might have prevented the New England Patriots earning another MVP Award via quarterback Drake Maye.<\/p>\n

In the end, Stafford barely edged out Maye. The point system for NFL MVP voting is 10 points for a first-place vote, five for second, three for third, two for fourth, and one for fifth.<\/p>\n

In the end, Stafford beat Maye by five points.<\/p>\n

Where does Allen factor in?<\/p>\n

Well, other candidates for the award aside from Allen, Stafford and Maye earned points too. But if we look at it through a certain lens, Allen stopped a Patriots MVP.<\/p>\n

Factoring into Allen’s 91 total points voted for him were two first-place votes. If one of those went to Maye, he would have edged out Stafford as Allen ended up in third place.<\/p>\n
