Josh Allen had quite an interesting time in 2024. The Buffalo Bills quarterback was named the NFL MVP while leading his team to the AFC Championship Game, where they ultimately lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. He ended the regular season recording 3,731 yards and 28 passing TDs.

However, for Allen, this is not the main priority in his football career. On Tuesday's episode of HBO's "Hard Knocks", the quarterback downplayed the honor of being crowned as the league's most valuable player last season. Allen then revealed that his true goal is to win the Super Bowl with his team.

"Being mentioned for MVP means your team is doing really well, probably in the hunt for the playoffs, and you're doing your job," Allen said. "It doesn't change my life to have that accolade or to have more of those accolades. The only thing that I'm worried about is doing everything I can to bring a Lombardi Trophy here."

"Yes, this is the best chance (of Allen winning the Super Bowl), because this is the best version of Josh Allen that we've seen and then next year will be even better chance because last year was kind of a Phase 3, Year 1 of Phase 3, for Josh Allen when he first got in the league, unmolded version," Hawkins said (Timestamp- 0:05).

"Then Diggs comes in, he has a little direction. Last year, he played mistake-free football. I think he's only going to get better, and we're going to see that this season," he added.
