Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was considered the favorite for the
MVP award at the NFL Honors at Saenger Theater in New Orleans. However, Buffalo

Bills star Josh Allen surprised many by taking home the coveted prize. 

The race between the two signal-callers for the coveted prize was very close. The
Bills superstar received 27 first-place votes, while the former MVP got 23. The final
points tally was 383-362 in Allen’s favor.

Retired wide receiver Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson, who was hosting a live episode of
their “Nightcap” Podcast with Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe, was among those left
perplexed by Allen’s win.

The former Cincinnati Bengals star voiced his frustration about the Bills quarterback
beating the Ravens superstar and suggested the voting was fixed. He said:

“That’s crazy. It makes no sense at all. It’s not a testament but the games that
they play. They pick and choose who they want, regardless of the accolades,
regardless to your resume and the numbers. The numbers speak for based on
what Lamar [Jackson] has done.”
