Voting Breakdown Reveals How Close Josh Allen Lamar Jackson Mvp Race W

Josh Allen is officially the NFL’s Most Valuable Player for the 2024 season, but it definitely ended up being something of a photo finish. The Buffalo Bills quarterback Allen was officially announced at the 2025 NFL Honors on Thursday to have won league MVP. Allen becomes the first Bills QB to ever win the award as well as the third Bills player overall (after running backs OJ Simpson and Thurman Thomas).

Thursday night, Josh Allen won the NFL MVP award. It was shaping up to be a two-man race between the Buffalo Bills QB and Lamar Jackson – and the voting results showed just how close it was. Allen received 383 points, including 27 first-place votes. That narrowly beat out Jackson’s 362 points and 23 first-place votes. The Baltimore Ravens QB had the most second-place votes at 26. Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley – the NFL Offensive Player of the Year – finished third in the MVP voting with 120 points while Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was fourth with 82...

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff rounded out the finalists in fifth place at 47 points.

He finished the 2024 regular season with 3,371 passing yards, 531 rushing yards, 41 offensive touchdowns, a 101.4 passer rating and only six interceptions. He earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors four different times and became the first player in NFL history to record at least 25 touchdowns, 10 rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown in... Just like the Buffalo Bills' 27–25 win over the Baltimore Ravens in the divisonal round, the MVP voting between quarterbacks Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson went right down to the wire.

Allen was officially crowned the 2024 NFL MVP on Thursday night at the NFL Honors award show in New Orleans, edging Jackson by a small margin. According to AP NFL writer Rob Maaddi, Allen received 27 first-place votes, 22 second-place votes and one third-place vote for a total of 383 voting points. Jackson, on the other hand, landed 23 first-place votes, 26 second-place votes and one fourth-place vote for a total of 362 voting points. In terms of first-place votes, the four-vote margin is the closest finish in an MVP race since 2003 when Peyton Manning and Steve McNair were named co-MVPs. In 17 games this season, Allen threw for 3,731 yards with 28 touchdowns and six interceptions—adding up to a 101.4 passer rating, his best mark since 2020. Lamar Jackson had his finest season yet in 2024, but it surprisingly did not result in a third NFL MVP award.

After months of heated debate, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen edged out Jackson in the voting from 50 sports journalists. Allen received 27 first-place votes to Jackson's 23, giving Allen his first career MVP award. Team insiders Ryan Mink and Garrett Downing react to Josh Allen winning MVP over Lamar Jackson after Jackson's record-breaking 2024 season, as well as the Hall of Fame voting and other NFL Honors. Jackson was a unanimous league MVP in 2019 and came just one vote short of doing it again in 2023. Even though he posted career bests across the board this season, it wasn't enough to take home more hardware. Jackson beat out Allen in the NFLPA vote cast by players.

Jackson was the Pro Football Writers of America MVP winner. He was a first-team All-Pro, which was voted on by the same people that vote on league MVP. The 2024 NFL season was filled with hotly contested debates such as: However, no debate has been bigger than "Who deserves the MVP Award?" Should Lamar Jackson, fresh off another historic season, arguably better than last year's campaign when he won his second MVP, be granted his third honor? Should Josh Allen, who managed to carry Buffalo to the No.

2 seed in the AFC despite throwing to Khalil Shakir and a washed-up Amari Cooper? What about Saquon Barkley, who became just the ninth player in NFL history to rush for over 2,000 yards? All of these players have legitimate claims to the award, but only one could end up walking away with it. At this year's NFL Honors, it wound up being Allen. Here's a full breakdown of the voting results. Allen beat out Jackson, who had previously won the award twice.

It's considered the closest MVP race since former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan beat out former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in 2016.

6, 2025, in New Orleans. (AP Photo/Brynn Anderson) NEW ORLEANS (AP) — For the past 11 seasons, being named the AP first-team All-Pro quarterback was a prelude to winning the NFL’s MVP award. There was some logic to that with quarterbacks providing the most value to a team and the same panel picking the All-Pro team and all of the awards. There was a rare flip this year with Buffalo’s Josh Allen narrowly edging Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson in the MVP voting announced Thursday night after finishing second in All-Pro voting revealed last month. Lamar Jackson vs.

Josh Allen was a true MVP debate for the ages—the type the NFL hasn’t seen since Steve McNair and Peyton Manning split the award for the 2003 season. When Jackson was overwhelmingly voted the first-team quarterback on the Associated Press All-Pro team last month, it seemed like a pretty clear indication of how the greatest debate of the season would end. But in the most stunning MVP result in years, it was Allen, not Jackson, who took the MVP trophy home on Thursday night at the NFL Honors ceremony in New Orleans. It is Allen’s first MVP award. Jackson has previously won it twice, for the 2019 and 2023 seasons. It was the first time since 1987 that QBs split the MVP and All-Pro honors outright (that year, John Elway won MVP while Joe Montana was the All-Pro).

Allen received 27 first-place votes, 22 second-place votes, and one third-place vote, for a total of 383 points in the AP’s ranked-choice voting system. Jackson received 23 first-place votes, 26 second-place votes, and one fourth-place vote, for 362 total points. Eagles running back Saquon Barkley finished third, with 120 points. (No voters picked Barkley as their MVP, but he had one second-place vote and 25 for third place.) For comparison, Jackson received 30 first-team All-Pro votes, to 18 for Allen. Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow also received two first-team All-Pro votes.

The AP’s Rob Maaddi, who oversees the voting process, told me that both of the Burrow All-Pro voters picked Jackson for MVP. “I was pretty surprised, yeah,” Allen said at his news conference Thursday night. “Given what we know about how typically voting goes. Lamar was very deserving of this award as well. I’ve got nothing but love and respect for his game. He’s a great steward of the game, and every time we share a field, I’m very fortunate to be mentioned in the same breath as him.”

The 2024 NFL MVP race won't go down as the closest ever, because it's impossible to beat an actual tie like we saw between Peyton Manning and Steve McNair back in 2003 when the... But the 2024 NFL MVP race, won by Josh Allen despite Lamar Jackson taking home First-Team All-Pro recognition. Only three times in NFL history has the player who was named the All-Pro quarterback failed to win the NFL MVP outright. The last was McNair in 2003 and before that John Elway in 1987. To be clear: this NEVER happens. Prior to the announcement of the All-Pro teams, Allen was a massive favorite to win MVP.

He had been for a few weeks after some of the best football you'll ever see played. Lamar closed the gap enough where it was a discussion, but Jackson was still somewhere north of the +200 range (I have friends who bet him) up until the All-Pro announcement. The market flipped completely at that point and it looked like Lamar winning was a fait accompli. And then Thursday night happened, with Allen himself "surprised" to win. "I was pretty surprised, given what we know about how the voting goes," Allen said. "Lamar was very deserving of this as well."
