Joe Burrow deserves to be the frontrunner for the MVP award over the likes of Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen in 2025.

There are only three AFC quarterbacks who have won the Super Bowl in the past decade: Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, and Peyton Manning. Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are hoping to join that exclusive QB in the 2025 NFL playoffs.

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.

The quarterbacks aren’t realistically attempting to chase down Patrick Mahomes in the Lombardi Trophy department, but what they are trying to be is this era’s Peyton Manning.

Lamar Jackson is trying to win his second consecutive NFL MVP award and third overall, but Josh Allen is the favorite. Here's breaking down the numbers for both elite AFC quarterbacks.

With the two MVP front-runners facing off this weekend, Ben Arthur and Henry McKenna debate who's been the better QB and who will be.

Part of the excitement of this matchup will be the MVP debate. Both are very deserving. Consider there's been three instances in NFL history of a player with 40+ total touchdowns, 500+ rushing yards and fewer than seven interceptions in a season.
