Josh Allen, the Buffalo Bills’ quarterback, recently earned his first NFL MVP accolade, but the 2024 season’s highlight for the 28-year-old was the focus on winning a Super Bowl championship. Allen’s performance was remarkable, with 12 rushing touchdowns and 28 passing touchdowns, all while tallying only six interceptions. Despite being awarded the honor, the quarterback reiterated that the team’s sole focus remains on securing the Vince Lombardi Trophy, stating that winning a ring is the only objective he has ever pursued professionally.
During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Allen discussed his achievements, acknowledging the honor but emphasizing his commitment to the Bills’ primary objective: winning the Super Bowl. ‘I don’t play too much into it,’ Allen said. ‘It is such a great honor, and I do appreciate being honored for my work. But at the end of the day, you got to make the playoffs, and then you got to win three, maybe four games. And that’s what we need to do. And we’re going to continue to work as hard as we can, and myself included. What can we find a way over that hump? So that’s the only goal going forward.’ This statement highlights Allen’s unwavering dedication to the Bills after being part of six consecutive playoff appearances, including five AFC East division titles. However, the team has yet to overcome the post-season hurdle, falling to the Chiefs four times in the past five years, including a 32-29 AFC Championship loss in January 2025.
The Bills are set to face the Baltimore Ravens on September 7th to kick off the 2025 regular season. Allen’s leadership and performance will be crucial in pushing the team past their recent setbacks. As a result of their recent history, the Bills have not advanced to the Super Bowl since 1995, making this season a pivotal moment for the franchise and its star quarterback.
