Russell Wilson Eyes Josh Allen for 2026 MVP

As of September 16, 2026, former Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson has predicted that Buffalo Bills' star quarterback Josh Allen will win the 2026 NFL MVP award. Wilson cited Allen's strong start to the season and what he believes is Allen's understanding of the stakes for the Bills this year, including a new stadium and coach. Allen began the 2026 season with a stellar performance in Week 1, completing 20 of 29 passes for 334 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 23 yards and two more scores. This dominant outing came against a formidable defense. He previously won the MVP award in 2024 and has earned multiple Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections. Despite his significant individual achievements, Allen has yet to lead the Bills to a Super Bowl. This ultimate prize remains his primary objective, even as the possibility of another MVP award looms. The Bills will look to build on their Week 1 success when they face the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football in Week 2.
