Both quarterbacks had their doubters leading up to the draft. Now, the AFC divisional round's winner will be within a game of a Super Bowl.

The MVP award won't be decided on Sunday, but the ramifications of the game figure to be immense for the two QBs and their franchises.

Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen have been making their cases for the MVP award all season long. However, it has only been in the last eight weeks that the field has truly narrowed down to the two quarterbacks. Saquon Barkley saw some endorsements, but most of them have quieted down.

Finally, Lamar has a propensity to run more during the playoffs. He rushed 15 times last week for 81 yards in Baltimore’s win over Pittsburgh. The only time he’s rushed for 15 or more times this season was all the way back in Week 1. In six out of his seven postseason appearances, he’s rushed for at least 54 yards.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is keeping things classy with Josh Allen after the Buffalo Bills star eliminated him from the AFC playoffs. The Ravens dropped a 27-25 heartbreaker to Allen and the Bills in the AFC Divisional but Jackson is still rooting for Buffalo -- Allen in particularly -- during the final stretch of the postseason.
