Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was rightfully named the 2024 NFL MVP. He put up his fifth consecutive season of 40+ touchdowns while only throwing six interceptions and led the NFL in QBR in the process.

ESPN's Dan Orlovsky picked Josh Allen for MVP but voted Lamar Jackson as a first-team All-Pro. Here's what went into his decision.

Saquon Barkley had one of the greatest seasons a running back has ever had. Ja'Marr Chase won the Triple Crown. Joe Burrow led the NFL in completions, passing yards, and passing touchdowns. None of those three players even sniffed the MVP award. At the end of the day, it was a two-horse race between two AFC rivals, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.

This season's race never became quite that clear, despite Jackson putting up even stronger numbers than last season. Bills QB Josh Allen spent the second half of the year battling for MVP honors with Jackson, and Eagles RB Saquon Barkley even stated his case with a dominant 2,005-yard rushing season.
