BY: Senator RYAN S

 CONGRATULATING Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh
 Allen upon the occasion of his designation as
 recipient of the 2024 AP NFL Most Valuable Player
 Award, one of the NFL's highest honors

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize
individuals of rare and exceptional athletic achievement, acknowledging
their profound and lasting impacts in their sport and on the citizenry
of this great New York State for years to come; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
congratulate Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen upon the occasion of
his designation as recipient of the 2024 AP NFL Most Valuable Player
Award, one of the NFL's highest honors, at the completion of his seventh
career season; and

 WHEREAS, Achieving such a high honor in competitive sports takes
years of discipline, tireless conditioning, and an unwavering desire to
win; Josh Allen has proven himself to be an exemplary athlete whose
perseverance and commitment to excellence have earned him this coveted
award; and

 WHEREAS, Josh Allen's myriad unprecedented achievements are
reflective of his continued performance at the highest standards of
excellence and thereby cannot be sufficiently extolled; and

 WHEREAS, With 27 first-place votes and a total of 383 points, Josh
Allen became the AP NFL Most Valuable Player of the year, beating out
staunch competitors to secure the prestigious award for his first time;
and

 WHEREAS, Josh Allen finished his 2024 regular season with 3,731
passing yards and 531 rushing yards for an impressive total of 4,262
total yards; he totaled 41 touchdowns - 28 passing, 12 rushing, and one
receiving, becoming the only player in NFL history with over 25 passing
touchdowns, over 10 rushing touchdowns, and a receiving score in a
season; and

 WHEREAS, Further cementing his name in history, Josh Allen had the
lowest percentage of plays that resulted in either a sack, fumble, or
interception in a single season (4.17%) since 1970; and

 WHEREAS, At the end of this season, Josh Allen became one of only
two players in NFL history with 40+ offensive touchdowns in at least
five career seasons; on top of this monumental achievement, the Bills
quarterback is the first in NFL history to secure 40+ touchdowns in five
consecutive seasons; and

 WHEREAS, A further testament to his unprecedented talent, Josh Allen
also became the first quarterback in NFL history with six or more
rushing touchdowns in seven consecutive seasons; he is also now the only

quarterback in the NFL to have ever scored a passing, rushing, and
receiving touchdown in a single game; and

 WHEREAS, Josh Allen's achievements this season are vast and notable;
he is now the first quarterback in NFL history to record multiple
passing touchdowns, multiple rushing touchdowns, 350+ passing yards, and
60+ rushing yards in the same game; he is also the first NFL player of
all time with at least two touchdown passes and two rushing touchdowns
in consecutive games, and is the first player of all time with three
such games in one season; and

 WHEREAS, During his seventh career season in the NFL, Josh Allen
became the first player in the league's history to score three or more
passing touchdowns and three or more rushing touchdowns in the same
game; and

 WHEREAS, As a captain of his team, Josh Allen helped guide the Bills
to one of the best seasons in franchise history, with an overall record
of 13-4: the beloved New York team also won the AFC East by Week 13,
which marked the earliest a team had won their division since 2009; and

 WHEREAS, Further, under Josh Allen's steady and respected
leadership, the Buffalo Bills made history as a team this season; the
Bills set franchise records for touchdowns (63) and
