Josh Allen can match Tom Brady in consecutive MVP voting finishes
Summary

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen enters the 2026 season with the opportunity to tie Tom Brady for the longest streak of consecutive top-five NFL MVP voting finishes. Allen has maintained a top-five placement in each of the past four seasons, reaching the threshold held by Peyton Manning. Tom Brady established the record with five consecutive top-five appearances between 2013 and 2017. The Bills, who have not reached the NFL title game in over 30 years, recently transitioned leadership by promoting Joe Brady to head coach following the departure of Sean McDermott. Despite individual accolades, the organization remains focused on securing a Super Bowl championship as Allen continues his career at age 30. Defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard returns to lead the defensive unit alongside the offensive staff under the new head coach.
