Bills offensive line makes its MVP choice clear with Josh Allen’s Christmas gift

The Buffalo Bills' offensive linemen made their case on who should win MVP in their gift to their star quarterback.

"That is so sick," Allen said in a video of him receiving the gift. 

Normally, it's the QBs who lavish expensive gifts on their linemen. It's unclear if Allen gave his offensive linemen gifts this year, but he has in the past. In 2022, Allen gave them custom scooters.

Statistically, Jackson has been the superior quarterback this season. He's third in the league in passing (3,955), tied for first in passing touchdowns (39), first in yards per attempt (8.9) and first in passer rating (121.6) to go
