Meanwhile, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-david-njoku-dorian-thompson-robinson-injuries">Browns had a pair of offensive weapons</a> get hurt. Here’s an overall look at the Week 16 injury roundup, including Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, and more.</p><p>We will start things off with the Eagles star quarterback.</p><h2><b>Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Philadelphia-Eagles-QB-Jalen-Hurts.jpg"><figcaption>Peter Casey-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Hurts suffered a concussion after a scramble early in the Eagles’ Week 16 loss to the Commanders. He took off on a quarterback draw in the first quarter before he was brought to the ground by Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner. As Hurts was being tackled, linebacker Frankie Luvu put a hit on Hurts. That made Hurts hit the ground with his head.</p><p>Hurts is in the NFL’s concussion protocol, which means he has to go through a five-step process before returning to the field. Eagles head coach said the process is <a href="https://www.delawareonline.com/story/sports/nfl/eagles/2024/12/23/jalen-hurts-concussion-update-kenny-pickett-rib-injury-philadelphia-eagles-news/77164637007/" rel="noopener">up to the league</a>, according to delawareonline.com.</p><p>“Anything that has anything to do with the head is out of our hands,” Sirianni said after the game.</p><h2><b>Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen</b></h2><p>The MVP candidate suffered a right elbow contusion in the fourth quarter against the Patriots but didn’t miss game action. Allen told reporters after the game that he briefly lost some feeling in his hand, but it quickly returned. Bills head coach Sean McDermott <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czytvJS1dLk" rel="noopener">expressed some concern</a>, according to a post on YouTube by WGRZ-TV via essentiallysports.com.</p><p>“I touched base with Josh back there, just put eyes on him, and they were going through the test,” McDermott said. “They cleared him to go back and play. Our medical staff does a great job with it, if it’s not safe for a player, they’re not gonna put him back out there. So I trust them, and they gave the green light to go back out there.”</p><h2><b>Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner</b></h2><p>Conner (knee) did not return against the Panthers after exiting in the second half. Conner <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1871218514775687624" rel="noopener">could miss the final two games</a> of the season, according to a post on X by Ian Rapoport.</p><p>“Generally, in situations like this, players have played their last downs for their team,” Rapoport said.</p><h2><b>Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London</b></h2><p>London (hamstring) did not return against the Giants after exiting in the fourth quarter. However, head coach Raheem Morris said the injury <a href="https://thefalconswire.usatoday.com/2024/12/22/falcons-drake-london-injury-update-latest/" rel="noopener">isn’t believed serious</a>, according to thefalconswire.com.</p><p>“I believe he could have gone back in,” Morris said. “I look forward to him being able to practice next week.”</p><h2><b>Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert</b></h2><p>Tolbert <a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/news/jalen-tolbert-injury-update-cowboys-wr-suffered-dislocated-finger-vs-bucs/" rel="noopener">suffered a dislocated finger</a>, according to Melissa Stark, on the Sunday Night Football broadcast via on3.com.</p><p>“We saw Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert get injured at the end of the first half,” Stark said. “He left the field, shaking his hand as he went into the locker room. He was late coming out; he was getting X-rays on his finger. When he came out of the locker room, he had his ring and his pinky finger taped on his left hand. He is questionable to return with a dislocated finger.”</p><h2><b>New York Jets CB Sauce Gardner</b></h2><p>A hamstring injury sent Gardner to the sidelines in the game against the Rams, and he did not return.</p><h2><b>Philadelphia Eagles DE Josh Sweat</b></h2><p>A key member of the defense, Sweat, suffered an ankle injury against the Commanders and did not return to the game.</p><h2><b>Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens</b></h2><p>Pickens (hamstring) has <a href="https://steelerswire.usatoday.com/2024/12/22/steelers-george-pickens-nfl-mike-tomlin-injury/" rel="noopener">a “real chance”</a> at playing against the Chiefs on Christmas Day, according to a comment by Mike Tomlin to steelerswire.com. Pickens has missed three games with the injury.</p><h2><b>San Francisco 49ers LB Dre Greenlaw</b></h2><p>After suffering a calf injury in the first quarter against the Dolphins, Greenlaw did not return. Teammate Fred Warner said the 49ers <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/49ers/news/fred-warner-says-the-49ers-have-to-protect-dre-greenlaw-from-himself-01jfszdjezdf" rel="noopener">need to be careful</a> with Greenlaw, according to Sports Illustrated.</p><p>“That’s my guy,” Warner said. “I love going out there to battle with him, but at the end of the day, it’s about saving Dre from himself sometimes, too. He’s coming back from a major injury. Everybody looks at the last game and how great he was, but that’s not normal, he’s dealing with something significant, so we have to protect him from himself sometimes. “Dre is built the right way; he wants to be out there, he wants to help us win games. That’s my brother at the end of the day. Like I said, we have to hold him back from hurting himself more.”</p><h2><b>Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III</b></h2><p>The team hasn’t provided information about the severity of Walker’s injured ankle. Head coach Mike Macdonald said tests <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/seahawks-hc-mike-macdonald-offers-023752298.html" rel="noopener">need to be completed</a>, according to yahoo.com.</p><h2><b>Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard</b></h2><p>A hamstring sent Shepard to the sidelines, and he didn’t return against the Cowboys.</p><h2><b>Washington Commanders CB Marshon Lattimore</b></h2><p>After appearing in only a pair of games, Lattimore (hamstring) got hurt against the Eagles. His status is up in the air.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite the concern, Allen continued to play and the Bills won the game, but afterward, the quarterback did admit there was <a href="https://x.com/agetzenberg/status/1870994742512881787" rel="noopener">something wrong with his hand</a>.</p><p>“Bills QB Josh Allen said that he lost some feeling in his right hand from the injury,” Bills reporter Alaina Getzenberg wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “He went to throw the ball and had no feeling in his right hand. Went on to say ‘glad it’s gone now.'”</p><p>Allen mentioned that it took about five to 10 minutes for the feeling to come back in his hand. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-josh-allen-shocking-broken-hand-revelation">Allen has been dealing with injuries</a> to his hand since the beginning of the season, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.</p><p>“Sources say Allen has played through most of his MVP-caliber season with a fractured left hand,” Rapoport reported. “Allen broke his non-throwing hand in the fourth quarter of Week 1’s win over the Cardinals…Allen said after the game that he was ‘fine’ and he missed no time. On the team’s subsequent injury reports, Allen was listed as a full participant…While it was known Allen had a hand injury — he was on the injury report until after Buffalo’s Week 12 bye — the severity and nature of his injury was not previously known.”</p><p>If the Bills want a chance of making a deep playoff run this season, they’re going to have to hope Allen can stay healthy.</p><h2>Josh Allen having MVP season for Bills</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Josh-Allen_b6fff2.jpg"><figcaption>© Tina MacIntyre-Yee/Democrat and Chronicle / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Josh Allen is having an outstanding season for the Bills and has led them to a 12-3 record, which is second-best in the AFC. The offense has been hard to stop during the second half of the season, and the defense is taking strides at the right time. It wouldn’t be a surprise if Allen went home with the NFL MVP this season, but it may be a close battle between him and Lamar Jackson.</p><p>Since the Bills have the better record, they might end up giving it to Allen. It would probably mean a lot to him to win the award, but the ultimate goal for him is most likely getting to the Super Bowl. Over the past few seasons, the Chiefs have been the team to get in his way, and there’s a chance they could be in the way again.</p><p>The Bills beat the Chiefs this season and are the only team so far to do so. That alone can show that they’re ready for the matchup if they have to see them in the postseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

There have been a lot of impressive feats that the superstar quarterback has accomplished along the way, but a shocking injury development makes Allen’s play even more mind-boggling.</p><p>It was known early in the year that Allen’s left hand was a bit banged up, but for the most part, it didn’t seem to have a massive impact on his play on the field. Recent reports have revealed that Allen was actually <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/bills-qb-josh-allen-has-played-through-broken-hand-during-mvp-caliber-season-in-2024" rel="noopener">playing through a broken left hand</a>, and that he’s fully healthy for Buffalo’s stretch run as they look to finally find their way to the Super Bowl.</p><p>“Sources say Allen has played through most of his MVP-caliber season with a fractured left hand,” Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported. “Allen broke his non-throwing hand in the fourth quarter of Week 1’s win over the Cardinals…Allen said after the game that he was ‘fine’ and he missed no time. On the team’s subsequent injury reports, Allen was listed as a full participant…While it was known Allen had a hand injury — he was on the injury report until after Buffalo’s Week 12 bye — the severity and nature of his injury was not previously known.”</p><h2><b>Josh Allen fully healthy for Bills stretch run</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Bills-quarterback-Josh-Allen.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Tina MacIntyre-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Having a broken non-throwing hand is obviously much easier to overcome than having a broken throwing hand, but the fact that Allen was able to play through this injury is just absurd. And the fact that he has been able to put MVP-caliber numbers while helping Buffalo look like the best team in the league just adds to what he has done this season.</p><p>With three games left, Allen appears well on his way to leading the Bills on a deep playoff run this year. And now that he is fully healthy, he will look to put the finishing touches on what would be his first-ever MVP campaign. Allen will have a great shot to further solidify his case when Buffalo takes on the lowly New England Patriots in Week 16.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, if you ask <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cam-newton-drops-deuce-auburn-new-five-star-qb-recruit">Cam Newton</a>, the title of best quarterback in the NFL belongs to Jackson, not Allen.</p><p>While Allen is the MVP frontrunner thanks to the Bills winning ways, Jackson has actually put up better numbers this year for the Ravens. Newton <a href="https://twitter.com/FirstTake/status/1870139287263449122" rel="noopener">passionately claimed</a> Jackson was better than Allen, saying that Buffalo’s superstar passer does not get held to the same standard as Jackson does, which skews the discussion.</p><p>“He’s just the greatest quarterback in the league,” Newton said on “First Take” in a fiery tirade towards Stephen A. Smith. “Right now, I’m taking Lamar Jackson over any other quarterback in the NFL…You ain’t holding Josh Allen to the same standards.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"Right now, I'm taking Lamar Jackson over any other quarterback in the NFL."</p><p>–<a href="https://twitter.com/CameronNewton?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CameronNewton</a> 👀 <a href="https://t.co/rNu7CkUvG1">pic.twitter.com/rNu7CkUvG1</a></p><p>— First Take (@FirstTake) <a href="https://twitter.com/FirstTake/status/1870139287263449122?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 20, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2><b>Cam Newton is riding with Lamar Jackson over Josh Allen</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Ravens-quarterback-Lamar-Jackson.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Chris Pedota-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Jackson and Allen are both in fairly similar spots, as they are immensely talented passers who are looking to win their first Super Bowl title. The main difference is that Jackson has a pair of MVP awards to his name, whereas Allen doesn’t. Jackson has more passing yards (3,580 to 3,385), rushing yards (743 to 484), and total touchdowns (37 to 36), and yet, he isn’t favored to win another MVP award.</p><p>Whether it be Buffalo’s winning ways, or the fact that Jackson just won the MVP award last year, the case for him to repeat isn’t that strong. Newton disagrees with that, and while it may be an unpopular take, the numbers back him up. At the end of the day, the guy who has the most postseason success will likely be considered the better quarterback, so while debating the MVP race is fun, both Jackson and Allen are likely focused solely on doing whatever they can to make a Super Bowl run this season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Furthermore, rookie QB Bo Nix struggled to move the ball around, often throwing it to the checkdown instead of looking down the field.

The 28-year-old quarterback emphasized how her encouragement has boosted his confidence, enabling him to focus on the game he loves. Since announcing their engagement in late November, Allen has tallied 14 touchdowns across passing, rushing, and even receiving plays, showcasing a level of versatility and joy that reflects his comfort both on and off the field.</p><p>Steinfeld, a renowned actress and singer, has been spotted cheering from the stands at Highmark Stadium throughout the season. Though the couple keeps most details of their relationship private, her consistent presence at games and mentions in her newsletter, Beau Society, highlight her active role in Allen’s journey.</p><h2>Teammates Weigh In on Allen’s Joy</h2><p>Allen isn’t the only one noticing the impact of his happy home life. Teammate and offensive lineman Dion Dawkins praised the connection between personal happiness and professional success. He expressed how having a supportive partner creates a mental space conducive to thriving under pressure.</p><p>“When you have that one stable person to rely on, it keeps you grounded,” Dawkins explained. “Josh is playing great, and I think his happiness has a lot to do with it.” Dawkins believes that this sense of balance has not only enhanced Allen’s game but has also inspired the team, who are relishing their star quarterback’s stellar form.</p><p>Allen himself acknowledged that his approach to the game has shifted this season, noting how much fun he’s having. “I’m playing the same game I’ve loved since I was a kid, and that’s what makes it special,” Allen said.</p><p>With Steinfeld by his side, Allen has not only elevated his performance but has also become a symbol of how personal fulfillment can fuel professional excellence. As the Bills gear up for the playoffs, fans are hopeful that this combination of talent and support will carry the team even further.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His competition includes Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, who leads the league in rushing yards and is on pace for over 2,000 yards.</p><h2><b>Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld’s engagement</b></h2><p>On November 22, 2024, Allen and Steinfeld announced their engagement. He proposed during the Bills bye week by the water with candles all around them.</p><p>While Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce get most of the NFL’s attention as the top celebrity couple, Allen and Steinfeld have been going steady for over a year. They started dating in the spring of 2023.</p><p>Steinfeld is an Oscar-nominated actress best known for her roles in the Pitch Perfect and Spider-Verse series. She first gained notoriety for her role in Pitch Perfect. She then starred in Ender’s Game, The Edge of Seventeen, and Bumblebee in the following years.</p><p>In 2021, she starred as Violet in Arcane. The acclaimed anime series recently debuted its second season on Netflix in November 2024.</p><p>She also stars in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as Kate Bishop, a new version of Hawkeye. Steinfeld made her debut in 2021, leading Hawkeye with Jeremy Renner. She then had a cameo in The Marvels.</p><h2><b>The Bills’ stellar season</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Josh-Allen-throwing-a-pass-against-the-Detroit-Lions.jpg"><figcaption>Kimberly P. Mitchell / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images.</figcaption></figure><p>Currently, the Bills sit atop the AFC Eats at 11-3. They recently lost a heartbreaker to the Los Angeles Rams 44-42. This week, they turned their luck around and beat the Detroit Lions 48-42.</p><p>However, they are still trailing the Kansas City Chiefs, who are 13-1. The Bills handed the Chiefs their only loss so far this season in Week 11.</p><p>Josh Allen has been one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks thus far with his stats. He has nearly 3,400 yards passing, 25 touchdowns, and only five interceptions. This is a major improvement over his 2023 campaign, in which he threw 18 interceptions.</p><p>On the ground, Allen has added 484 yards and 11 touchdowns. He is one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the league and has been unafraid to show it. He also has only one fumble so far this season.</p><p>Their biggest test will come in the postseason. The Bills are yet to make a Super Bowl with Allen under center. They are hoping that that changes in 2024.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Adding to his incredible Sunday was the two rushing touchdowns he scored to go with 68 yards on the ground on 11 carries. It was another spectacular performance by the 28-year-old Allen, who got the Bills going again after a 44-42 loss at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams in Inglewood in Week 14. Also giving Allen a big hand on offense was James Cook, as the running back led the Bills with 105 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries.</p><p>Defensively, the Bills have some work to do after giving up a total of 84 points in their last two games, but at least they have already won the AFC East division and locked up a spot in the NFL playoffs.</p><p>The Bills are now 11-3 and will face off against the New England Patriots back home at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park in Week 16.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

According to ESPN’s Field Yates, <a href="https://twitter.com/FieldYates/status/1868441496829186368" rel="noopener">he is the only</a> player with 35 total touchdowns in four straight seasons.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Josh Allen is now the first player in NFL history with 35 or more passing and rushing TD in four consecutive seasons. </p><p>Stud. <a href="https://t.co/d14PPROfcU">pic.twitter.com/d14PPROfcU</a></p><p>— Field Yates (@FieldYates) <a href="https://twitter.com/FieldYates/status/1868441496829186368?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 15, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Tom Brady, Steve Young, Joe Montana, Drew Brees, Michael Vick, none of them have scored 35 touchdowns in four straight seasons. Josh Allen is in a category of his own and the Bills are benefitting from it. On a day when their defense struggled, Allen picked up his team again. It resulted in their biggest win of the season.</p><p>Jared Goff threw for 494 yards, 193 caught by Amon-Ra St Brown, and added five touchdowns. But the Bills shut down the most important part of the Lions’ game, their running attack. Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery combined for 13 carries and 37 yards. Josh Allen himself picked up 68 yards on the ground.</p><p>The playoff question looms for the Bills, and it is a serious one. With Josh Allen at quarterback, they have beaten teams quarterbacked by Phillip Rivers, Mac Jones, Skylar Thompson, Mason Rudolph, and Lamar Jackson. They have lost to Patrick Mahomes three times, Joe Burrow, and Deshaun Watson.</p><h2><b>The Bills polishing off another spectacular regular season</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Josh-Allen-with-Buffalo-Bills-6.jpg"><figcaption>Lon Horwedel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The question has never been the regular season for Josh Allen and the Bills. They have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/afc-playoff-picture-chargers-week-14-loss-chiefs">made the playoffs in each of the last six seasons, including this one</a>, and Allen has finished top-five in MVP voting three times. This regular season has been more of the same. Allen is among the favorites to win the MVP and the Bills will likely be the two seed.</p><p>This was the last playoff opponent on the Bills’ schedule until the postseason begins. They end the year with two games against the Patriots and their home game against the Jets. Josh Allen will be pushing for the MVP and the off-chance that Mahomes and the Chiefs falter from the top spot.</p><p>This Allen performance came off another spectacular one last week. He scored six touchdowns, three each running and passing, but the Bills lost to the Rams. The defense did just enough this time around to secure the victory. While the schedule eases up down the stretch, the defense must show more to instill hope into a fanbase that has never seen a Super Bowl.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

There are now just four real candidates for the 2024 NFL MVP Award, and in Week 14, the leader of this list may have wrapped up the trophy. Buffalo Bills quarterback <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-josh-allen-nfl-record-rams">Josh Allen made NFL history</a> in a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-sean-mcdermott-admits-gaffe-final-play-loss-rams">thrilling 44-42 loss to the Los Angeles Rams</a>, and in doing so, should cement his place as the recipient of the hardware.</p><h2><b>1. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills QB</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Josh-Allen-QB-Buffalo-Bills.jpg"><figcaption>Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The NFL MVP Award generally goes to the best quarterback on one of the best teams in the league, so losses often hurt the candidate’s case. While this is usually true, Josh Allen was so good in the Bills’ Week 14 loss that he actually may have won the award in a week his team took an L.</p><p>Allen became the first player in NFL history to score three rushing and three passing touchdowns in a single game. His offense put up 42 points, yet the Bills made history by becoming the first team to lose a game while scoring six touchdowns with no turnovers.</p><p>The Buffalo defense and its coaching staff let down Allen by failing to stop the run, not being able to cover Puka Nacua, and by calling a QB sneak late in the game, wasting its first second-half timeout. None of this changes the fact that Allen is the best player in football right now.</p><p>With 3,033 passing yards, 23 passing TDs, just five interceptions, and nine rushing scores, Allen has <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2024/passing.htm#passing::pass_yds" rel="noopener">excellent numbers</a> in all these statistical QB categories with four games to play. Barring a major collapse, Allen is the MVP.</p><h2><b>2. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles RB</b></h2><p>Not winning the NFL MVP Award in 2024 should take away nothing from Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, who is having an incredible season. He should win NFL Offensive Player of the Year in a walk, as his 1,623 rushing yards and 1,890 yards from scrimmage lead the league.</p><p>In Week 14, Barkley had another great game in a victory, putting up 124 rushing yards, his ninth 100-plus-yard rushing game of the season.</p><p>Barkley has done nothing wrong to land second in the NFL MVP Power Rankings, but the fact is, he is a running back, and that position simply doesn’t affect the game as much as a great quarterback does.</p><p>In any other season, when a player like Allen isn’t doing what he’s doing, this could easily be Barkley’s trophy.</p><h2><b>3. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions QB</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Lions-wide-receiver-Amon-Ra-St.-Brown-and-quarterback-Jared-Goff.jpg"><figcaption>Joe Rondone-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Despite being third in the NFL MVP Power Rankings heading into Week 15, Lions QB Jared Goff probably has the best chance to unseat Allen at the top of this list. Like Allen, is is also a signal-caller, and his team goes head-to-head with the Bills on Sunday.</p><p>Goff actually has more passing yards (3,265) and touchdowns (25) than Allen, although he has nearly 400 fewer rushing yards and no rushing scores this season. Still, his Lions are 12-1 to the Bills 10-3, and if that moves to 13-1 vs. 10-4 after Week 15, there will be some calls for Goff to win this award.</p><p>Still, if you do the MVP thought exercise where you swap Allen and Goff, the Lions would be as good or even slightly better with Allen, while the Bills wouldn’t be nearly as good with Goff under center.</p><h2><b>4. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens QB</b></h2><p>The Ravens’ Lamar Jackson has the best stats of any of the NFL MVP Award QB candidates. He edges Goff by 25 passing yards and four passing touchdowns and had the edge over Allen by 262 rushing yards, yet has scored six fewer times with his legs than the Bills signal-caller.</p><p>The biggest knock on Jackson is that his Ravens are just 8-5 on the season, despite getting an incredible season from offseason acquisition Derrick Henry. Of course, wins and losses have a lot to do with aspects other than QB play, but the truth of the NFL MVP Award is that record matters a lot.</p><p>Jackson could move up this list, especially with big games against the playoff-bound Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans in Week 16 and Week 17, respectively, but it would probably be too little, too late to jump Allen, Goff, and Barkley.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
