Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen
There was no Pro Bowl game after the 2020 season as the COVID-19 pandemic was wreaking havoc in America and across the globe. With the scare of Omicron looming large and with the number of cases within the NFL going up, it won’t be wrong to say that fans are a little nervous about what will happen this year.
Nevertheless, the NFL Pro Bowl rosters came in recently and there were a few surprises. One of the biggest ones was the exclusion of Josh Allen. The star quarterback who features for the Buffalo Bills has been highly impressive this season and has raked up good numbers.
“NFL going for reputation over performance”: Fans not happy with Josh Allen’s absence from the Pro Bowl roster
The star player completed 65.2% of his passes for 3,734 yards and 31 touchdowns along with 12 interceptions in this particular season. In addition to that, he has also rushed for 555 yards. As soon as it was confirmed that Allen has been snubbed and Lamar Jackson has been included in the roster, fans started comparing the stats of both the players.
Without a doubt, Lamar hasn’t had a terrific season per say. Fans opined that Lamar’s inclusion was based more on his reputations than the numbers he had reported this time. In fact, after the announcement, even the Bills took to Twitter to let the NFL know that they aren’t in agreement with their call.
Needless to say, fans and many experts are baffled with the decision to prefer Lamar over someone like Allen who has done absolutely nothing wrong to hurt his chances to feature in the Pro Bowl but Alas, he still hasn’t made it. Nevertheless, he would look to guide his side to more wins in the upcoming games.
