While Sunday's game between the Buffalo Bills (9-3) and the Baltimore Ravens (10-2) carries playoff implications, it also features two of the five quarterbacks selected in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. Analyst Matt Sabuda sees Jackson as the leading candidate for league MVP, but he says Allen's production is not far behind. According to Sabuda, Jackson leads all quarterbacks with 32 total touchdowns; Allen is fifth with 24. The game also represents the most combined rushing yards by opposing quarterbacks in NFL history.
