Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been named the Hickok Belt® Award winner for December 2020. Voting was conducted by a select panel of members of the National Sports Media Association (NSMA). The Buffalo Bills had an amazing December 2020 winning all four of their weekly games against the San Francisco 49ers, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Denver Broncos, and the New England Patriots. On December 19, the Bills crushed the Broncos with a 48-19 victory. In his third season with the Bills, Allen was flawless, completing 359 yards passing, 33 rushing yards, and four touchdowns, enabling the Bills to clinch the AFC East division title for the first time since 1995. He holds the single-season franchise record for passing yards. His improvement this season is a major part of the Buffalo Bills becoming Super Bowl contenders. Josh Allen’s rushing talent makes him an unstoppable “freight train.”
Other finalists for the month of December in order of how the NSMA ranked them were: Davante Adams (football), Aaron Jones (football), A Lim Kim (golf) and Saul Canelo Alvarez (boxing) – tie, James Harden (basketball), Bradley Beal (basketball), Devin White (football), Matt Fitzpatrick (golf), and Max Verstappen (auto racing).
Josh Allen’s selection as the Hickok Belt® Award winner for December recognizes him as “the best of the best” in professional sports for the month and makes him the ninth candidate eligible to receive the overall Hickok Belt® Award for 2020, joining Dustin Johnson (twice in 2020), LeBron James, Bryson DeChambeau, Donovan Mitchell, Jon Rahm, Tyson Fury, and Patrick Mahomes as contenders for the overall 2020 Hickok Belt® Award.
