Despite Impressive NFL Records Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts Snubbed From Pro Bowl 2024 for Unknown Reasons

Getting to play in the Pro Bowl is seen as a badge of honor. Does it have any real-life implications? Not really, and yet players vie to be called to play in the game comprising the best of the best. And the NFL has just announced the names of players who have made it to the Pro Bowl. As soon as the list was released, the Internet went ablaze with reactions. Many were disheartened by the fact that their favorite player did not make the cut. While some others thought that many players did not deserve to go to the Pro Bowl.

However, the absence of two names stood out, which has got netizens wondering why the league decided to skip them. So, who are these two players and why did they deserve to be on the list? And now that they have not made it to the Pro Bowl, how can they give a fitting reply to their doubters?

Josh Allen will not make it to the Pro Bowl

Dov Kleinman, an NFL Insider, took to X to share the names of two players who were “snubbed” and did not make it to the Pro Bowl: Buffalo Bills’ QB Josh Allen and Philadelphia Eagles’ QB Jalen Hurts. Patrick Mahomes, the 2x Super Bowl winner and the Kansas City Chiefs QB, has made it to the Pro Bowl. Even though his passing yards per game is 15 more than Allen’s, both players have 27 passing touchdowns each. The Bills QB’s yards per completion and yards per attempt are slightly higher.

He has also set the league record, along with Hurts, for the number of rushing touchdowns by a quarterback at 15. Mahomes, on the other hand, has nil. Allen has 42 total touchdowns this season under his belt and this is 4 more than Hurts and a whopping 15 more than the 2x Super Bowl MVP winner!

If that’s not enough, the Bills’ offense led by him has averaged 4.5 points per game, and 12 yards per game more than the Chiefs. What about the other player on the list? How has his track record been this year?

Why Jalen Hurts deserves to go to the Pro Bowl

It hasn’t even been a month since Hurts was hailed as the favorite to win the NFL MVP Award. And look where he’s fallen now. The Eagles’ offensive woes aside, he has been deemed unworthy to even play in the Pro Bowl by the league. But his numbers make a strong case for why he should.

In 2023, he is the runner-up among quarterbacks for the most number of touchdowns. He has already set a franchise record at 38. In the 16 games that have been played so far in the season, the 25-year-old registered an 11-5 record for Philly. He has also successfully completed 345 out of 522 passes, and recorded 3,803 passing yards. He is also tied with Allen for the most number of running TDs this season by a QB.

Can the two teams make it to the playoffs and lead their teams to victories, thereby giving the perfect answer to being “snubbed”?
