As the Buffalo Bills’ bye week comes to an end, it’s a good time to reflect on the team’s performance over the first 11 weeks and recognize the standout players with midseason MVP honors.
Offensive MVP: Josh Allen
Honorable Mention: Khalil Shakir
Allen’s performance this season has been nothing short of remarkable. With 2,543 passing yards, 18 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions, along with 316 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns, he has been the most impactful player on offense. His ability to make game-changing plays, like his thrilling touchdown run against Kansas City, cements his place as the top offensive player.
Defensive MVP: Terrel Bernard
Honorable Mention: Taron Johnson (and others)
The defense has seen strong performances from several players, including Taron Johnson, Christian Benford, and Greg Rousseau, but Bernard has stood out. His leadership and awareness on the field have elevated the defense, showing time and again that he can command the unit effectively and be in the right place when it matters most.
Special Teams MVP: Cam Lewis
Honorable Mention: Sam Martin, Brandon Codrington
Special teams play is crucial, and Cam Lewis has earned his MVP spot with his versatility and consistent effort in key moments. Whether downing punts or making tackles, Lewis is an essential asset. Sam Martin, the punter, has been reliable in his role, while rookie Brandon Codrington has shown potential to contribute more as he continues to develop.
These players have made significant contributions, making them worthy of recognition as the Bills head into the second half of the season.
