Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson have had their careers linked from the beginning, and after Allen’s Buffalo Bills beat Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens in Sunday night’s divisional playoff game, Jackson wanted to make sure Allen got his flowers.
The two quarterbacks came from the same draft class and their careers have been compared ever since. Jackson was an instant sensation while Allen was considered a project. But, now, seven seasons later and the two have been in a season-long standoff for the Associated Press’s MVP award.
Jackson edged out Allen in the AP’s All-Pro list, taking First Team while Allen was named to the second team.
