Bills

Bills QB Josh Allen was thankful to be named the MVP for his efforts this past season, but told reporters his only goal since being drafted into the NFL is to win a Super Bowl.

“You know, it is such a great honor, and I do appreciate being honored for my work,” Allen told Liam McKeone of SI.com. “But at the same time, I still didn’t win a Super Bowl. Didn’t win a ring, and that is the only goal. It’s the only focus that I’ve ever had going into this league.”

“The one positive, I will say, about winning an MVP means that your team is in a good position,” Allen added. “You’re making the playoffs, you’re playing well and you’re doing whatever you can to help your team win football games. But at the end of the day, you got to make the playoffs and then you got to win three, maybe four games. And that’s what we need to do. And we’re going to continue to work as hard as we can and myself included. What can we do to find a way over that hump? So that’s the only goal going forward.”

Dolphins

Dolphins LB Bradley Chubb didn’t play for the team last season due to a torn ACL, but admitted that the team was putting on a facade about changing the culture, something they are working towards once again this offseason.

“I’m going to say last year, we were lying, honestly,” Chubb said this week, via NFL.com. “Point blank, period. We felt it. We put our toe in the water, but we didn’t dive all the way in. We didn’t get all the way there with each other. We weren’t making the effort to go the extra mile and I would say this year, we’re doing that.”

“I’m not sure how it’s going to turn out for us, but we are putting forth that foot to change it because last year, like I said, we said we wanted to change, yeah, we’re doing this, we’re doing that; but it’s not going exactly how we want to,” Chubb added. “But this year, I feel like everybody has the right mindset and moving forward, so if it works out, it’s going to work out. If it doesn’t, we’re going to get back to the drawing board and make sure it works out.”

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel was asked about Chubb’s comments but said his focus remains on the 2025 season.

“It would have been awesome if he would have told me on the front end when they were lying,” McDaniel said. *“Beyond that, 2024, unless I’m using it directly for an analogy, I’m much more concerned with 2025. I think you do a lot more for the organization if you spend your time thinking forward in terms of not this, that, or the other, or whose fault it was. No, we want it like this, let’s do it like this and this is who...
