Lamar Jackson loses MVP to Josh Allen, claims Rob Parker

Summary

Rob Parker argues that the NFL improperly awarded the 2024 MVP trophy to Josh Allen instead of Lamar Jackson. Allen, who led the Buffalo Bills to a 13-4 record and threw for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns, secured the award despite Jackson's impressive statistics of 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns. Parker suggests the decision was influenced by sentiment towards Allen, who had yet to win an MVP. Jackson, the reigning MVP, led the Ravens but lost in the AFC Divisional round to Allen's Bills following a close playoff game. The two quarterbacks are set to face each other again on Sunday.
