Bills teammates say that this year, more than ever before, Allen's leadership and maturation has been MVP worthy.

“We’ve seen him as [the MVP] for a long time now, but I think it would mean a lot to the guys in here that he’s finally getting recognized for it,” said tight end Dawson Knox. “Especially the offensive line. They work their tails off for him. They go under-noticed and under-credited every week.”

Considering Lamar Jackson's performance on Christmas Day, Josh Allen and the Bills might want to make a statement Sunday in the MVP race.
