Yes, that is true. It is also true they went to the SB 2 years ago without Barkley. He's had an impact, no doubt and his 2K season was great. Is it MVP worthy in a QB dominated MVP NFL, it wasn't. He did not receive a single 1st Place vote. It was a close vote between Allen and Lamar, but Barkley wasn't even in the conversation when it came to the voters.
Josh Allen: 27-22-1-0-0: 383
Lamar Jackson: 23-26-0-1-0: 362
