MVP chants erupted throughout Highmark Stadium after Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen made a spectacular play in Sunday's home game against the Denver Broncos.

Early in the fourth quarter of a 31-7 victory, Allen threw a 55-yard touchdown pass to Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel. After the play, Buffalo fans shouted, "MVP."

The NFL Honors show will announce the MVP on Feb. 6 at 9 p.m. ET. Allen has never won the award and is in a tight race with Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson.

In the regular season, Jackson had more TD passes (41 in 17 games) than Allen (28 in 17 games). However, Bills head coach Sean McDermott recently said Allen has a bigger impact.

"Josh Allen is the MVP," McDermott said, per Ryan Miller of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. "I've been around this league long enough, to see MVPs every year for many years, and what he has done on this team and this organization, in this community, and no offense to anybody else, but I have a hard time believing that someone's done more."

Allen and Jackson will face each other in the divisional round of the playoffs. The MVP debate should certainly be one of the game's biggest storylines.
