BREAKING: Ravens Legend Jonathan Ogden Says Bills’ Josh Allen Won MVP for the ‘Wrong Reason’

In a surprising statement that has stirred up debate among NFL fans, Baltimore Ravens legend and Hall of Famer Jonathan Ogden has voiced his opinion on Josh Allen’s MVP win, claiming the Buffalo Bills quarterback was awarded the honor for the “wrong reason.”

During a recent interview, Ogden expressed skepticism about Allen’s selection, stating:

“Josh Allen is a great player, but I don’t think he won the MVP because he was the best player this season. There were other factors at play, and to me, that’s not what the award should be about.”

Though Ogden didn’t go into full detail, many fans and analysts have speculated about what he meant. Some believe he was alluding to Allen’s popularity, media favoritism, or even the NFL’s marketing decisions. Others suggest that Ogden might have been advocating for another player, such as Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, or Christian McCaffrey, who all had compelling MVP cases.

A Controversial MVP Race?

Allen had a stellar season, leading the Bills to a strong playoff push while putting up impressive numbers. However, many analysts believed Lamar Jackson had an equally—if not more—dominant season. Jackson led the Ravens to the No. 1 seed in the AFC and played some of the most efficient football of his career.

Other quarterbacks, like Patrick Mahomes and Brock Purdy, as well as non-QBs like Christian McCaffrey and Tyreek Hill, also had MVP-worthy performances.

Fans React to Ogden’s Statement

NFL fans took to social media immediately after Ogden’s comments went viral. Some agreed with his take, arguing that the MVP award often feels like a “narrative-driven” award rather than purely about on-field dominance. Others defended Allen, saying that he carried the Bills and deserved every bit of the recognition.

Josh Allen Responds?

So far, Josh Allen has not directly responded to Ogden’s comments, but sources close to the Bills’ camp say that he is fully focused on preparing for the upcoming season and is not worried about outside criticism.

Whether Ogden’s comments were simply his opinion or a larger critique of the MVP selection process, one thing is certain—the MVP debate is far from over, and discussions surrounding Josh Allen’s win will likely continue all offseason.
