Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen Lead NFL MVP Race as Award Announcement Looms

The Ravens' Lamar Jackson and Bills' Josh Allen are the frontrunners for the 2024 NFL MVP, with Saquon Barkley and Joe Burrow also in contention.

Lamar Jackson, aiming for his third MVP award, delivered a historic season with 4,712 passing yards, 41 touchdowns, and 915 rushing yards, setting multiple NFL records.
Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills is a strong contender, boasting 3,731 passing yards, 40 total touchdowns, and a league-best QBR under pressure during the regular season.
Philadelphia Eagles' Saquon Barkley became the ninth player in NFL history to rush for over 2,000 yards in a season, significantly impacting the team's offense.
Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow led the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns but missed the playoffs due to a struggling defense, despite his career-best performance.
The MVP award, based solely on regular-season performance, will be announced at Thursday's NFL Honors, alongside other major recognitions and Hall of Fame inductions.
