Quarterback Josh Allen won his first career MVP award on Thursday night for his impact on the field for the Buffalo Bills this season. It's his impact off-the-field, however, that has some fans so excited for him.

In a video posted by the Bills' X (formerly Twitter) account following the announcement, patients from Buffalo's Oishei Children's Hospital—where Allen often volunteers in the Patricia Allen Pediatric Recovery Wing—congratulated the 28-year-old in a heartwarming montage. Check it out below:

You can tell how much of a genuine impact he's made on them. Really cool.

Allen finished the 2024-25 regular season throwing for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns along with 531 yards on the ground and 13 rushing touchdowns. He led the Bills to a 13–4 record but came up just shy of a Super Bowl appearance—losing 32-29 to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.

Allen beat out Lamar Jackson for the MVP award by just four first-place votes.
