Sunday Night Football in Week 4 will feature two of the NFL’s best and most exciting quarterbacks facing off as the 1-2 Baltimore Ravens take on the red-hot 3-0 Buffalo Bills.
Since entering the league together as first-rounders in 2018, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen have consistently been near the top of the NFL at the quarterback position. With their unique athletic abilities as runners, they often make plays that nobody else is capable of.
Allen spoke glowingly about the two-time MVP Jackson ahead of their upcoming showdown.
“He’s an inspiration to a lot of people in this country,” Allen said. “The way that he plays the game, the doubters that he had coming out, asking to switch positions early on, and then for him to show the resiliency and the work ethic and the attitude to go forward and win two MVPs. Guys around the league they see that. He’s really changed the way that I think guys play the game but make no mistake about it, he can throw the snot out of the football. Got a lot of respect for him, a lot of love for him, love watching him play because every play is never dead with him. He’s got a crazy ability to keep plays alive and make guys miss and then get the ball downfield so he’s a special player.”

Allen has yet to win an MVP despite multiple worthy seasons. If his dominant play from the first three weeks continues, 2024 could be the year for Allen to finally receive the award.
