By ESPN released their top-three player rankings for the NFL's awards in 2026.
The Buffalo Bills (7-1) were not found at all. No Josh Allen. No Greg Rousseau.
ESPN's Bill Barnwell named the his three top candidates for each honor, including the MVP Award and Defensive Player of the Year Award.
The Bills have a quarterback that has had a nearly flawless season in Allen, who has led his team to just one loss, but instead of his not considered a top candidate. Like Allen, Rousseau could be a huge candidate for the DPOTY with his eight sacks, which ranks second in the NFL, but he is not found.
Who is?
