Josh Allen has been taken care of by his offensive linemen all season, and they had him covered for Christmas too.
The Buffalo Bills quarterback is having a remarkable term under center in 2024 and has played at MVP level for most of the campaign. He remains the frontrunner in the race despite playing a bit below standard against the New England Patriots in Week 16.
If nothing else, his teammates certainly believe he’s the MVP. The Bills’ offensive line gifted their QB with a shiny pendant bearing his jersey number and “MVP” at the top. The names of the players in the O-line were also shown engraved on the back.

The quarterback is usually the one who gifts his offensive line to show gratitude for their protection during the season, but Allen’s teammates have gone the other way about it for the holidays, showing just how much he means to them.
Might Josh Allen Return His Expensive Present?
Josh Allen’s claim to the MVP seat is as legitimate as it gets.
The QB has thrown for 3,549 yards, 26 touchdowns, and just six interceptions this season. He’s also added 513 yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground while boasting the second-highest QBR among qualified quarterbacks.
Still, Baltimore Ravens star and reigning MVP Lamar Jackson is the one being lauded as the 2024 winner following his most recent outing. So Allen’s pendant just might leave a sour taste depending on how things fall.

The Bills star has dropped off a bit in recent weeks but has been turning the ball over a lot less this season.
With two games left in the campaign, Allen will have an opportunity to lock in his claim and keep his gift relevant. Time will tell how things work out.
Phoenix Suns Shock Everybody By Sending Superstar Kevin Durant To NBA Heavyweight In Blockbuster Trade Proposal
A blockbuster trade proposal has the Phoenix Suns setting off fireworks across the NBA by dealing superstar Kevin Durant to a Western Conference juggernaut.
There’s no indication that the Suns are open to dealing Kevin Durant, or that the future Hall of Famer wants out. But the fact remains that Phoenix has one playoff series win in the KD era, and at 12-8 through 20 games, they don’t exactly resemble a championship contender.
If the Suns decide to shake up their All-Star core, Durant has to be the odd man out. Devin Booker isn’t going anywhere, and veteran guard Bradley Beal might have the most untradeable contract in the NBA.
Eddie Bitar of Fadeaway World proposed a mammoth trade idea that has Phoenix sending Kevin Durant back to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton II, De’Anthony Melton and first-round picks in 2026 and 2029:
“The chemistry between Durant and Curry is unmatched, with the two feeding off each other’s strengths to devastate opposing defenses. If Durant’s time in Phoenix shows signs of stagnating, he could be motivated to initiate a trade to the Warriors—a team he knows will be ready to compete the moment he steps on the floor…
Most importantly, Durant’s departure could also allow Booker to further solidify his role as the franchise player, with Beal supporting him as an experienced scorer who has made the playoffs multiple times. The return for Durant would bring in a mix of young talent and future draft picks, potentially giving the Suns a balanced roster that can grow and adapt as Booker and Beal enter their prime. “
