Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen Focus on Team Over MVP Talk Ahead of Divisional Matchup

As the Baltimore Ravens prepare to face the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Round, the looming MVP storyline between quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen has taken a backseat. Both players are focused on leading their teams to victory rather than fueling debates about the league’s most prestigious individual award.


Jackson and Allen Deflect MVP Hype

Despite being the leading MVP contenders, both quarterbacks have downplayed the individual accolade in favor of team goals. Jackson, who has already won two MVP awards and is chasing his third, emphasized the importance of staying focused.

“We’re just trying to win,” Jackson said, dismissing the media buzz surrounding the matchup.

Allen echoed a similar sentiment, choosing to highlight Buffalo’s team preparation over personal accolades.


What Happened Last Week

Both quarterbacks are coming off stellar performances in the Wild Card round:

Lamar Jackson (Ravens)

  • Passing: 16/21, 175 yards, 2 touchdowns, 132.0 passer rating.
  • Rushing: 15 carries, 81 yards.
  • Key Contributor: Derrick Henry (26 carries, 186 yards, 2 touchdowns).

Jackson’s leadership, combined with Baltimore’s dominant defense, paved the way for a convincing 28-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens held Pittsburgh to just 29 rushing yards and dominated time of possession.

Josh Allen (Bills)

  • Passing: 20/26, 272 yards, 2 touchdowns, 135.4 passer rating.
  • Rushing: 8 carries, 46 yards.
  • Key Contributor: James Cook (23 carries, 120 yards, 1 touchdown).

Allen led Buffalo to an impressive victory over the Denver Broncos, with the Bills controlling the game through efficient offense and a balanced attack.


A Must-See Matchup

Sunday’s game will not only feature two MVP-caliber quarterbacks but also two teams at the peak of their powers:

  • Ravens’ Strengths: The league’s top-ranked rushing attack, anchored by Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson, and a suffocating defense that has been dominant all season.
  • Bills’ Strengths: A dynamic offense led by Josh Allen and James Cook, paired with a defense that has improved significantly since the teams’ last meeting in Week 4.

This game is poised to deliver unforgettable moments and will dominate coverage across ESPN, CBS, NBC, NFL Network, and other platforms.


Final Thoughts

While the MVP storyline adds intrigue, Jackson and Allen are focused on what matters most: advancing to the AFC Championship. Both quarterbacks have shown they can deliver on the biggest stages, and Sunday’s matchup is shaping up to be one for the ages.
