We as fans experienced a surge of offense and defense every season in the <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nfl\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>NFL<\/a>. Each season better than the previous ones. In the 2024-25 season, we had many MVP candidates including a running back. We saw Saquon Barkley of the Eagles cross 2000 yards in rushing which was one of the best ever in the NFL. We also had four quarterbacks including; Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Jared Goff, competing for the MVP trophy. The MVP race was neck-and-neck. There was no clear cut winner this time around. <\/p><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DFwf2G3u7p5\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

For context, Joe Burrow had the best stats amongst the four, however, his win-loss record hurt his chances. Josh Allen had a tremendous season, but his numbers weren&rsquo;t the best amongst other candidates and so forth. At the end, Josh Allen took home the MVP honors which is his first. However, not everybody agrees that Allen should have won. <\/p><p>If you look at Allen and Jackson&rsquo;s stats in the 2024 season, Lamar leads in almost every category. So the question arises, why did Josh Allen win the MVP award instead of Lamar Jackson? Was Jackson robbed?<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why was the MVP handed out to Josh Allen instead of Lamar Jackson?<\/h2><p>There are two answers to this question. Firstly, many believe that it&rsquo;s voter&rsquo;s fatigue which means the voters will simply tired of handing out the MVP trophy to the Jackson. While this sounds more like a personal motive than an unbiased vote, it happens in every sport there is. For example, Nikola Jokic of the NBA was handed out back-to-back MVPs. However, even though Jokic had a better season, Joel Embiid won the MVP award. <\/p><p>Another reason why Allen was handed the MVP instead of Jackson is simple. MVP means most valuable player and Allen was just more valuable to the Bills. The Ravens had a loaded roster, from top to bottom. They had 9 Pro-Bowlers. Meanwhile, Allen had less talent to work with and still delivered. The Bills traded Stefon Diggs to the Texans which was a major blow for them. Despite losing some major talent, Allen still balled out, which may be the reason why the MVP went to him.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NFL players were asked who should win MVP.<br><br>None of them said Josh Allen.<br><br>Lamar Jackson was ROBBED &#129318;&zwj;&#9794;&#65039; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/80rPAqgtz6\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>https:\/\/t.co\/80rPAqgtz6<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WoZRdILdsI\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/WoZRdILdsI<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Kyle (@ImKyleMangum) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ImKyleMangum\/status\/1887701783335612746?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>February 7, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Josh Allen vs Lamar Jackson in the 2024 regular season<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Category<\/td><td>Lamar Jackson <\/td><td>Josh Allen<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Passing Yards<\/td><td><strong>4172<\/strong><\/td><td>3731<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Passing Touchdowns<\/td><td><strong>41<\/strong><\/td><td>28<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Rushing Yards<\/td><td><strong>915<\/strong><\/td><td>531<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Rushing Touchdowns<\/td><td>4<\/td><td><strong>12<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Games Played<\/td><td>17<\/td><td>17<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Interception thrown<\/td><td><strong>4<\/strong><\/td><td>6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Quarterback Rating<\/td><td>77.2<\/td><td><strong>77.3<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pass Completion Percentage<\/td><td><strong>66.7<\/strong><\/td><td>63.6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Times Sacked<\/td><td>23<\/td><td><strong>14<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><p>The biggest surprise amongst the two is not even the stats.
