There's much nuance and context to explore beyond the stats as it pertains to the case for Allen or Jackson to be named league MVP.

It’s worth noting Jackson, Allen and Burrow’s gaudy statistics came in the fourth year of the NFL regular season being 17 games, as opposed to 16 as it was previously. In some cases, such as yardage and touchdowns, the extra game helped pad stats. In others, such as interceptions and sacks, it made lower totals even more impressive.

One of those storylines has been the MVP conversation between Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. There has been plenty of controversy about the matter, and former NFL quarterback Tony Romo only added to it when he gave an interesting take on the situation between the two signal callers.
