A true dual-threat talent, Allen threw for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns in the regular season and ran in a dozen more scores as well, becoming the first quarterback to record multiple rushing and passing touchdowns in back-to-back games. “I feel like my teammates wanted this more for me than I did,” Allen said. “I’m very honoured.” Allen memorably became the first quarterback with a passing, rushing and receiving touchdown in one game in the Bills’ week 13 win against the San Francisco 49ers, when he threw to – and then caught a lateral pass back from – Amari Cooper and ran into the end zone. He led the Bills to their sixth straight playoffs appearance this year, where they lost in the AFC Championship to the Kansas City Chiefs. A runner-up for the award twice before, Allen reportedly received 27 first-place votes to Jackson’s 23 for the award that is decided by a panel of sportswriters. Thursday’s announcement surprised some fans after Jackson, who enjoyed a near-pristine regular season with 41 touchdown passes and just four interceptions, had been named the First-Team All-Pro quarterback last month. “I was pretty surprised, given what we know about – typically – how the voting goes,” Allen told reporters. “Lamar was very deserving of this award as well.” Denver cornerback Pat Surtain won defensive player of the year, while Philadelphia running back Saquon Barkley took the top offensive player honour after posting a league-leading 2,005 rushing yards. Jacksonville defensive end Arik Armstead was the recipient of the Walter Payton man of the year award, considered the NFL’s highest honour recognising on-field performance and philanthropic efforts. Armstead earned the honour for his community work to support children’s education, with a particular emphasis on literacy.
