\u201cSpeakeasy\u201d podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cWith Lamar, honestly, you bring a five-man rush on him and collapse that pocket, he\u2019s drifting backwards and, unfortunately, he might make a play that isn\u2019t going to be the best play for the Ravens.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Josh, he\u2019s going to drift backwards, run around, and he\u2019s so hard to tackle. He\u2019s a large human being. Hard to get down. He can make every throw. Every throw from no matter where he\u2019s at. His arm strength is unbelievable. I don\u2019t think Lamar has that big amount of arm strength like Josh does.\u201d<\/p>\n
Omenihu, who played three seasons with the Chiefs and faced Allen in two playoff matchups, did ding the Buffalo passer for his turnover issues \u2014 following his four-turnover performance against the Broncos in this year\u2019s divisional round loss.<\/p>\n
The pass-rusher also gave Jackson the edge over his AFC rival when it came to his legs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe speed. If you do let him out, he\u2019s gone,\u201d Omenihu said. \u201cAnd he\u2019s not going to fumble the ball. Josh is going to fumble the ball. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the thing about it. If Josh could just chill on the turnovers \u2014 don\u2019t try to be Superman all the time \u2014 the Bills, I think, beat the Broncos. Before it even got to my boy\u00a0[Brandin] Cooks\u2019 catch-not catch, all that craziness, it would have never gotten to that. They would\u2019ve won.\u201d<\/p>\n
Allen committed 13 turnovers [10 interceptions and three fumbles lost] in 17 regular-season games last year, before Buffalo bowed out of the postseason in the divisional round with a 33-30 loss against Denver.<\/p>\n
Jackson, meanwhile, coughed up 10 turnovers (seven picks and three fumbles) in 13 games as Baltimore went 8-9 and missed the playoffs.<\/p>\n
Omenihu opined that if Allen and Jackson swapped teams, the former would win a Super Bowl first.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe can make every throw,\u201d Omenihu said of Allen. \u201cHe\u2019s huge. I just think Josh is a hell of a player. I don\u2019t think he has much weakness other than he turns over the ball a little bit too much. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut if you put him on the Ravens, you have\u00a0Derrick Henry, you\u2019ve got\u00a0Zay Flowers, you\u2019ve got\u00a0Mark Andrews. You have a defense. You\u2019ve got\u00a0Roquan [Smith], you\u2019ve got\u00a0Kyle Hamilton, you\u2019ve got\u00a0Marlon [Humphrey]. You\u2019ve got some guys. You\u2019ve got some pieces. For the Bills, they\u2019re saying, \u2018Oh, he doesn\u2019t have enough guys, he doesn\u2019t have enough pieces.\u2019 With the Ravens, he ain\u2019t gonna have that problem.’\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bills will welcome Jackson and the Ravens to Buffalo next season for a yet-to-be-scheduled regular-season matchup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson both ended the 2025 season without an elusive Super Bowl win \u2014 but…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":863531,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2048],"tags":[215,214,53,2086,7,872,110,895,6,9],"class_list":{"0":"post-863530","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-buffalo-bills","8":"tag-bills","9":"tag-buffalo","10":"tag-buffalo-bills","11":"tag-buffalobills","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-josh-allen","14":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs","15":"tag-lamar-jackson","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116383230876047882","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/863530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=863530"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/863530\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/863531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=863530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=863530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=863530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
