As Cowherd put it on an episode of\u00a0\u201cThe Herd\u201d podcast, \u201cwhen Derrick Henry arrived in Baltimore, defenses playing the Ravens had to make choices and concessions. And many times it felt like the key to that team was not Lamar Jackson, it was Derrick Henry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To underscore the difference Henry made, Cowherd also noted how \u201cas much as Josh Allen got support from\u00a0James Cook, he was the 16th leading rusher in the league. Receiving core? They lost\u00a0Stefon Digg<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/stefon-diggs\/\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">s<\/a>, yet he won 10 of his last 12, one pick after December 1st, I think.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_1\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Cowherd essentially made a simple distinction between Allen and Jackson. One based on the latter having more to work with than the former.<\/p>\n<p>Allen doing more with less was summed up by these words from Cowherd, \u201cwhen you play the Bills, there is one and one mission only, and that is to stop Josh Allen. When you played the Ravens this year, some teams made the choice to concentrate on Derrick Henry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_2_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-2 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"6046fafa578dca53cae832924fbe2554\" class=\"embed_container\">\n<div class=\"tweet-container\">\n<article class=\"tweet-container_article\">\n<div class=\"tweet-container_header tweet-verified-business\">\n<div class=\"tweet-header__author tweet-header__author--verified\">\n<div class=\"tweet-header__meta\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tweet-header-brand\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tweet-body\">\n<p>.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ColinCowherd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow external\">@ColinCowherd<\/a> has no problem with Josh Allen winning MVP over Lamar Jackson:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you play the Bills, there is one and one mission only\u2026 It was just time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tweet-media tweet-media--1\">\n<div class=\"tweet-media__container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tweet-actions\"><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is a smart argument, but the idea Jackson was less award-worthy because of his supporting cast is tough for some to take.

The podcast host has long been one of the most vocal admirers of Jackson\u2019s talents.<\/p>\n<p>Cowherd has described Jackson as \u201cprobably the world\u2019s best football talent\u201d He\u2019s also\u00a0defended Jackson\u2019s inability to win a Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Comments like those are why it\u2019s surprising Cowherd endorsed Allen pipping Jackson to the MVP award. It was a close and controversial call,\u00a0based on AP votes, but Cowherd isn\u2019t the only media personality who thinks Jackson simply did only what he should have done with the talent at his disposal.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_4_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-4 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_4\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A similar view is shared by\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Stephen A.
