The Toronto Blue Jays took to social media on Thursday night to congratulate Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen on winning the 2024 NFL MVP Award.

The Jays said "Congrats to QB1 and our friend, Josh" while posting a picture of Allen in a Blue Jays jersey at Rogers Centre.

Allen previously took batting practice at Rogers Centre and has helped continue the Buffalo/Toronto alliance. Earlier in the 2010s, the Bills used to play one home game a season in Toronto. Then, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Blue Jays spent the 2020 season playing in Buffalo at the home of the Buffalo Bisons. Toronto also played a portion of 2021 in Buffalo because of COVID restrictions in Canada.

As for Allen, he's coming off a year in which he led the Bills to a 13-4 record and an AFC East title. Unfortunately, they were beaten in the AFC Championship Game by the Kansas City Cheifs, who will play in the Super Bowl this upcoming Sunday.

Allen threw 28 touchdowns against six interceptions while throwing for 3,731 yards. The six interceptions were the fewest of his career.

While not a guarantee, it's likely that we see Allen visit Rogers Centre again during the 2025 season, as the Bills do enjoy a solid contingent of Canadian fans. The Blue Jays report to spring training next week and will open the regular season on March 27.

Toronto is coming off a last-place finish in the American League East but are feeling better after offseason acquisitions of Anthony Santander, Jeff Hoffman, Yimi Garcia, Andres Gimenez and Max Scherzer.
