Buffalo Bills Quarterback angled Lamar Jackson with 21 points. Allen received 27 votes in first place for Jackson’s 23.
Allen has been a multi -year MVP candidate throughout his career, but had always fallen shortly before Thursday.

He was a finalist three in the past, and with Jackson, who had just won last year, a Hall of Famer suggested that Allen received sympathy voices this year.
“I get it because [Josh] is a big quarterback. He had not won one. Lamar had two. And they are like ‘let’s just give him one.’ But that’s the wrong reason, “Jonathan Ogden told TMZ Sports.” But it’s all good. What are you going to do? But they made the wrong choice. But that’s all good.
“I don’t want it to sound like I hate Josh because the brother is a huge quarterback. But he didn’t have the year Lamar had.”
Jackson’s numbers trump Allen’s mostly everywhere, but there is something to be said about Allen’s bills that run away with their department despite having let the top recipient Sthel Diggs.
This season marked the first time since 2019 Allen did not go in 4,000 yards, but he led the NFL with a 77.4 total QBR. While his 28 passersby touchdowns were also his lowest since 2019, he ran for 12 touchdowns, the second most of his career.

After winning his second MVP award last year, Jackson hit career heights with his first 4,000-yard campaign and his first season threw 40 touchdowns.
Allen got the benefit of a rather subpar department and got AFC East December 1st. But it became clear that as long as Allen is in the fold, the bills have a chance to compete.
Allen received 22 votes in second place for Jackson’s 26 (Saquon Barkley and Joe Burrow each received one), while Allen also got a third place. Jackson registered a fourth place.

This comes despite the fact that Jackson has received more first-team all-pro-votes than Allen. This is the first time since 1987 (John Elway) a first-team All-Pro did not win MVP.
