Football fans are losing their minds after Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was named the MVP over Lamar Jackson, who was denied a second straight award.
Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Josh Allen won a close race with 383 voting points. Lamar Jackson, who was looking to match Tom Brady’s three MVP awards, was a close second with 362.
Most folks knew that it would be a tight race between the two superstar quarterbacks, but not everyone agreed with the final results. Plenty of fans were left baffled about the voters giving Allen the honors over Jackson:
“This was literally Lamar voter fatigue. That’s all it is,” one fan said.
“LAMAR ROBBED!,” said another.
“I like Josh, but Lamar the real MVP,” remarked one fan.
“Lamar Jackson got robbed of his 3rd MVP. Allen had a great year but Lamar was the best player in the league and I think it’s hard to debate otherwise,” quipped another.
“Lamar just got robbed what a joke of a league 😂,” wrote a fan.
“Pretty sure Lamar blew Josh Allen out of the water this year. What a joke,” said another.
