One key storyline heading into the awards being revealed was the MVP trophy -- and which quarterback would win it between Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen and Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson. The Ravens superstar has won the award two times already.

The Buffalo Bills quarterback was named the NFL’s most valuable player for the first time Thursday, further cementing his status among the league’s elite.

"As a quarterback, your goal is to be the best player you can be to help the team, and certainly Lamar is doing that," said Peyton Manning.
