Jackson, who led the Ravens to a second straight AFC North championship, got 26 second-place votes and one-fourth for 362 points. Saquon Barkley finished third (120 points), followed by Joe Burrow (82) and Lions QB Jared Goff (47).

This season's race never became quite that clear, despite Jackson putting up even stronger numbers than last season. Bills QB Josh Allen spent the second half of the year battling for MVP honors with Jackson, and Eagles RB Saquon Barkley even stated his case with a dominant 2,005-yard rushing season.

Josh Allen beat out two-time winner Lamar Jackson for the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award Thursday, but Ravens fans will be happy to know that Tom Brady’s vote went to Baltimore’s quarterback.
