With Josh Allen’s Buffalo Bills poised to face Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs in the 2025 NFL playoffs, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has selected who he wants to win the Super Bowl.Josh Allen led the Buffalo Bills to a hard-fought victory over the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional Round of the 2025 NFL playoffs, securing a spot in Super Bowl LIX against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, Lamar Jackson will have to watch the rest of the postseason from home.
And, despite his club is no longer in contention, it appears that the Ravens star is rooting for a specific player. Speaking to reporters after the loss in Buffalo, Jackson made an interesting revelation:
discussed his postgame interaction with Allen. “Great players recognize greatness,” Jackson remarked about Allen, according to Syracuse.com. “We recognized each other, you know? But I encouraged him, “Go get something, go win something, man.” MVP, Super Bowl, do anything. “I want him to succeed.”
Allen and company will now face Mahomes’ Chiefs, who have won the previous two Super Bowls, with a trip to New Orleans on the line. Apart from the Bills Mafia, Buffalo may have a great quarterback rooting for them, with Jackson praying for Allen’s success. Allen may have won the MVP contest against Jackson.
Jackson and Allen dominated the spotlight throughout the season, with both quarterbacks making strong cases for MVP. And, while it’s a regular-season honor, the Bills’ recent victory over the Ravens may give Allen an advantage, regardless of the outcome versus Mahomes’ Chiefs. But, rather than resenting Buffalo for leaving him empty-handed for another year, Jackson wishes the best for his colleague. Lamar would be pleased to see Allen take home the Vince Lombardi trophy now that he is no longer in contention for the Super Bowl. But the former first-round pick is rooting for the Bills star to win MVP ahead of himself. This only speaks.
speaks much about his sportsmanship.Allen considers Jackson to be one of the greatest players in NFL history. He also had a positive attitude towards Jackson, seeking to shake hands with him after the game. During his postgame press conference, Allen heaped the highest respect on the two-time NFL MVP.
“I just got so much respect and love for him,” Allen remarked about Jackson. “How he plays the game. He’s a true competitor and a true footballer. One of the best football players in history. So, nothing but love.”
