Josh Allen vs Lamar Jackson stats: Which QB comes out on top in 2024 regular season?

2024 was the year of the dual-threat quarterback. The regular season featured several elite QBs capable with their hands and feet. From perennial Pro Bowlers Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen to electric rookies Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix, this season hasn't been short of game-changers leading the charge for their franchises.

Hence, ahead of the wild-card round, let's look at the stats of the two frontrunners for this season's MVP award and establish who will win after the regular season.

How did Josh Allen perform in the 2024 regular season?

Josh Allen was phenomenal this season. The Buffalo Bills quarterback almost single-handedly led his side to the playoffs. Allen shook off concerns emanating from Stefon Diggs' departure to become arguably the league's most decisive quarterback.

Allen amassed a stat line of 3,731 passing yards, 28 passing touchdowns, and a career-low six interceptions. He added 531 rushing yards and an impressive 12 rushing touchdowns in 17 games. Allen's 77.2 QBR is second in the league.

How did Lamar Jackson perform in the 2024 regular season?

Reigning MVP Lamar Jackson found a new speed in 2024 and was the fulcrum behind the Ravens' impressive regular season. Jackson's dual-threat ability was on full display as he made a solid case for a third MVP award.

Jackson amassed a stat line of 4,172 passing yards (career-high), 41 passing touchdowns (career-high and second in the league), and four interceptions. He added 915 rushing yards and four rushing TDs in 17 games. Jackson's 77.5 QBR is the best in the NFL.

Which superstar quarterback had the better season?

From the individual stats perspective, Lamar Jackson had the better season. He beat Josh Allen in passing yards, passing touchdowns, interceptions, rushing yards, and QBR. The only personal stat where Allen had the upper hand was rushing touchdowns.

However, Allen's Buffalo Bills had a better regular-season record and were one of just two teams to beat the reigning Super Bowl champs, the Kansas City Chiefs. The Ravens also had a decent season, but Allen's carry job seems to be viewed more favorably by the press. It'll be interesting to see who wins the MVP.
