The NFL's official MVP won't be revealed until early 2025, but as far as the Buffalo Bills' offensive line is concerned, that honor already belongs to quarterback Josh Allen. And as a reward for his superlative season, the group gifted a diamond-studded 'MVP' medallion to Allen, who proudly showed it off on social media.

'The box is the sickest thing,' an elated Allen said while posing for left tackle Dion Dawkins' camera. That is so sick.'. Not only is the medallion covered in glimmering diamonds, but the piece is shaped like a jersey with Allen's No. 17 on the front below the letters: MVP.

And on the back, both starting and backup offensive linemen's names are listed: Dawkins, David Edwards, Conner McGovern, O'Cyrus Torrence, Spencer Brown, Ryan Van Demark, Alec Anderson, Will Clapp, Richard Gouraige, Tylan Grable, Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, Mike Edwards and Tommy Doyle.

Of course, not everyone was on board with the gift. A post shared by NFL (@nfl). Not only is the medallion covered in glimmering diamonds, but the piece is shaped like a jersey with Allen's No. 17 on the front below the letters: MVP. Many on Instagram saw the gift as foolish, given the strong play of the Ravens' Lamar Jackson.
'How do you give him a MVP chain without a MVP?' one commenter asked on Instagram. 'Too bad [Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is] winning it,' another added, echoing a belief shared by many on social media. 'Why doesn't it have Lamar's number?' one critic asked.
