Josh Allen Leads 2024 NFL MVP Race Despite Recent Struggles
With two weeks left in the regular season, Allen remains the favorite, while Lamar Jackson and Saquon Barkley trail as key challengers.
- Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills is the frontrunner for the 2024 NFL MVP award, despite a subpar performance in Week 16 against the Patriots.
- Allen’s season highlights include leading the Bills to key victories over top teams and becoming the first player in NFL history to record three passing and three rushing touchdowns in a single game.
- Lamar Jackson, the reigning MVP, remains a strong contender with standout performances in recent weeks, including eight touchdown passes and only one interception over the past two games.
- Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles has impressed with over 2,000 scrimmage yards this season, but his MVP chances are hindered by the Eagles' inconsistent team performance.
- Other notable candidates include Jared Goff, Patrick Mahomes, and Sam Darnold, though their odds remain significantly lower than Allen and Jackson’s.
