Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and MVP
The NFL MVP race between Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is coming down to the final week.
There’s no such problem as the 2024 MVP race enters its final stages. Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow and Saquon Barkley are superstar talents whose conventional and/or advanced stats match historic standards for MVP consideration.
