The perfect mic drop moment doesn’t exist- “I have been in the league for long enough to see MVPs every year for many years…” This is what Bills HC Sean McDermott said on his QB1 Josh Allen being the clear MVP so far. Well, numbers back Allen ahead of Lamar Jackson (and while Joe Burrow has cooked too, the Bengals’ overall record will hinder his chances). 

After a thumping 40-14 win over the Jets, the HC said, “I think there’s a saying about stats, right? At the end of the day, Josh Allen is the MVP… And it’s great to see our offense do what they’ve been able to do here.” Well, he clearly dismissed the other contenders like Jackson and Burrow. Allen is the MVP for Sean. And he might have a point, despite all the bias he must have for his QB! With 4,262 total yards and 40 touchdowns, Allen is carrying the Bills to a 13-3 record and the 2-seed in the AFC.

Now, Lamar Jackson fans might argue their guy is ahead—he’s totaled more yards and touchdowns (4,807 and 43, respectively). But here’s the catch: Baltimore is sitting at 11-5. And while Jackson has been electric, Allen’s consistency has turned doubters into believers.

What about Joe Burrow? The dude is leading major passing categories, but the Bengals’ subpar record keeps him on the outside looking in. So, the bottom line? McDermott’s faith in Allen isn’t just coach-speak. Allen has put together a career-defining season, blending penchant plays with locked-in leadership.

With the playoffs looming, the MVP chatter is loud—but for McDermott and Bills Mafia, Allen’s already their guy. And it’s not only the Buffalo crew chanting their QB’s name.

Josh Allen shows he’s a leader

Josh Allen, being the man of the moment, wasn’t going to bask in the praise alone (even if he should). So, Allen sent a clear message to the rest of the league, saying: “Everybody eats in this offence!” I mean, that’s the mark of a star player, isn’t it?

What more does Josh Allen have to do—win a Super Bowl, sure. Because, honestly, he’s checked just about every MVP box already. Tony Romo thinks Allen might edge out Lamar Jackson, and his reasoning? Voter fatigue. Yep, the whole “been there, done that” vibe for Jackson, who’s already snagged two MVPs, might give Allen the nudge he needs.

Fair or not, Romo’s point sticks: it’s a razor-thin race, and the narrative might be the tiebreaker. We talked numbers already, but let’s talk analysis because that’s where it gets wild. Both Allen and Jackson have been phenomenal. Allen’s been a one-man highlight reel, while Jackson continues to do Jackson things—electric, game-breaking, impossible to ignore.

But when the margins are this slim, voters might lean toward the guy who hasn’t held the trophy yet. Is that fair? Probably not, but hey, this is sports, not a science experiment. Think about it. Imagine being a voter with Allen and Jackson’s stats staring you down like a fourth-and-goal decision.

How do you pick? Romo’s argument might simplify things, even if it feels a little arbitrary. And let’s face it, “arbitrary” is practically a stat in MVP voting. At the end of the day, this MVP debate isn’t about winners or losers—it’s about who gets the final nod. Jackson or Allen? Flip a coin.
