“If we don’t win, we’re going to next year and we have a chance to win it next year,” Allen explained. “And I think every year that I’ve had in this league, it’s like, ‘It’s gotta be Super Bowl, it’s gotta be Super Bowl,’ and I think this year, I just want to be like, you know what? I just want to play football and whatever happens, happens, and focusing more on the process than the results and letting go of that expectation and going out there and just playing to the best of my abilities no matter what and just being where my feet are.”

“It’s never been a goal of mine to win MVP,” Allen shared. “If anything, it’s been to win the Super Bowl MVP. I think that’s the better of the two awards, and make no mistake, it’s a very cool honor. I really do appreciate it, but it doesn’t change my life. It doesn’t change who I am, and to that point, it probably…winning a Super Bowl doesn’t change who I am or change my life either. But it’s something that the city’s wanted for a very long time, and to feel like I can help be a piece that brings it here, that’s more important to me than a singular trophy.”

“I’m gonna do everything that I can to make it happen, but don’t worry about it,” Allen said. “Let’s go out there and if I’m doing everything that I can and putting my best foot forward, sometimes the ball’s gonna bounce the other way, and that’s just the unfortunate part about what we play, but that’s why we play, because the outcome is unknown and just going out there and enjoying the game that I love.”
