Josh Allen capped off his historic 2024 campaign with the first MVP award of his career after edging out Lamar Jackson by 21 points in one of the most closely contested MVP races in NFL history. Allen is the third player to win the award as a member of the Buffalo Bills, the first at the quarterback position.

The Buffalo Bills knocked off the Detroit Lions 48-42, ending their 11-game winning streak. Buffalo never trailed in the game, with scores on their first three drives before heading into halftime up 21-14. The second half saw two punts and 55 combined points scored. The Bills capitalized on a fumble that allowed them to stretch their lead to 35-14 and a little breathing room. Jared Goff did his best to bring the Lions back to within a score, but Detroit could not capitalize on two onside kick attempts in the fourth quarter.
