ESPN's Dan Orlovsky picked Josh Allen for MVP but voted Lamar Jackson as a first-team All-Pro. Here's what went into his decision.

NFL MVP race was one of the closest of all-time, with Josh Allen narrowly beating out Lamar Jackson to win the 2024 NFL MVP award despite Jackson being named the 2024 first-team All Pro by the same organization and group of voters that select both awards.

Allen became everything the Bills could have dreamed of. And now Allen is an MVP, beating out Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson to win his first NFL MVP award, which was given out at Thursday's NFL Honors show. He's the third Bills player to win the award, joining Thurman Thomas in 1991 and O.J. Simpson in 1973.
