NFL quarterbacks typically give offensive linemen gifts around the holidays, but the favor was returned in Buffalo this year.

Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins showcased a pendant that the team's offensive linemen combined to give Allen, who was quite appreciative of the gift.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Allen was a heavy -380 favorite to win MVP, per DraftKings Sportsbook. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is his biggest threat (+280 underdog) followed by Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (+1200).

For the season, Allen has accounted for 37 touchdowns (26 passing, 11 rushing). He's completed 63.8 percent of his passes for 3,549 yards (7.8 YPA) and rushed for 514 yards.

Allen has led a 12-3 Bills team that will finish with the AFC's No. 2 seed with a win in one of its final two games (at the 4-11 New York Jets, at the 3-12 New England Patriots).

It looks like that pendant could be foreshadowing for his first-ever MVP award. But Allen still has a bit of work to do before the end of the regular season. Ultimately, we'll find out the MVP winner on Feb. 8 at the NFL Honors show.
