NFL’s Most ‘Betrayed’ QBs: Josh Allen and Dak Prescott Are Carrying Their Teams Alone

Josh Allen and Dak Prescott Lead the NFL… on a Brutally Honest Ranking

Despite their impressive performances, Josh Allen and Dak Prescott are carrying their teams — and the numbers reveal a stark imbalance between their abilities and the support around them.

According to the 2025 Betrayal Index — a metric based on Expected Points Added (EPA) — Allen and Prescott are the two most “betrayed” QBs in the league. Simply put, they are performing at elite levels while the rest of their teams aren’t keeping pace.

Starting with Allen: After leading the Bills to a 44–32 win over the Buccaneers, he posted 9.4 EPA per game, ranking 1st among 30 qualified QBs. That’s an extremely high mark — a top-tier level of performance. But look at Buffalo’s defense and special teams, and the story flips: they rank 25th/30, with –2.9 EPA per game. This gap isn’t just unusual — it’s alarming.

Prescott’s situation mirrors this. He ranks 6th in QB EPA, showing consistent offensive efficiency. Yet Dallas’ defense and special teams are near the bottom, sitting 30th overall. When a QB is top 10 but the foundation of the team is at the very bottom, it’s a clear sign of systemic imbalance.

This isn’t a fluke over a few games — it reflects a structural problem. Normally, elite EPA QBs are paired with strong defenses or special teams to build a complete, formidable team. But when the gap between QB talent and overall team strength is this large, it raises serious questions about roster construction — not just for this season, but for the long-term outlook of the franchises.

In Buffalo, the paradox is clear: a team built on “solid defense, strong running game, and game control” is now almost entirely dependent on Allen. He is not just the engine of the offense — he is the entire machine.

In Dallas, Prescott has shown calm, efficiency, and consistency. Yet a once-strong Cowboys defense has declined, and special teams can’t carry the load. The result: an elite QB left to fight in the trenches almost alone.

The Betrayal Index isn’t meant to inspire sympathy — it provides context. It shows who is carrying the most weight and who is truly being left behind. Right now, Allen and Prescott are clearly leading… and it’s a tragic kind of leadership.

They’re still performing, still scoring, still giving their all. The big question is: when will the rest of the team catch up?

Packers' Star QB Refuses MVP Title to Fully Focus on Team in Tough Phase
Can you believe it? Jordan Love, the "red-hot" quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, is on track to compete for MVP with +1000 odds at DraftKings – but this guy is "refusing" personal glory to pour all his energy into the team struggling with a "hellish" schedule! Is this a heroic act or just a ploy? Read now to uncover the "truth" behind it! In the Super Bowl era, the Packers have produced three MVP legends: Bart Starr (1966), Brett Favre (1995-1997), and Aaron Rodgers (2011, 2014, 2020, 2021). Now, Jordan Love has a chance to become the fourth, putting the Packers on par with the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts – the only team with four QB MVPs like Johnny Unitas, Earl Morrall, Bert Jones, and Peyton Manning. With his current "explosive" form, Love ranks fourth in the NFL for passer rating (105.4), tied for fifth in touchdown passes (22), with only four interceptions – the fewest among QBs starting all 13 games, and a 67.1% completion rate ranking seventh. But instead of "dreaming" of MVP, Love seems to be "rejecting" it! In a recent interview, he emphasized: "These are the most important games of the season, obviously with a lot of things coming down to playoff seeding and the division race, so this is the important football. I think it’s everybody, we keep stacking and keep getting better and better throughout the season and learn from the mistakes we make and overcome some of the obstacles. Just keep stacking and trying to find ways to get better every day is something that’s been helping us." These words are like a clear "declaration": Love doesn't care about MVP, but only wants to focus on the team in its "tough phase" with a 9-3-1 record, trailing the Rams (10-3) in the NFC. Head coach Matt LaFleur also "sings along": "Yeah, he’s playing really good football right now. That’s obviously important and it’s going to be important moving forward." And offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich praises the consistency: "I would say just the consistency that he’s had has been great... Just being a consistent, efficient quarterback is one thing that I’ve been really pleased with." But it's Packers defensive end Micah Parsons who "reveals" why Love deserves but is "overlooking" MVP: "I definitely think he deserves recognition... If you go off strength of schedule, how he's played and with him missing half his receivers, I think that goes unnoticed, too. Some of the things he did without (Christian Watson) early in the year, then (Jayden Reed), so this guy was missing two of his starting receivers majority of the year and they're just now getting back in these last eight weeks of the stretch, so I definitely think he deserves a lot more credit and I'm just happy I'm able to be a part of this journey with him." Currently, Matthew Stafford of the Rams leads the MVP race with -180 odds, 35 touchdown passes (far ahead of Dak Prescott with 26), passer rating 113.1, and only four interceptions. Drake Maye of the Patriots follows with +200, passer rating 111.9, 3,412 passing yards, and 23 touchdowns. Love, with a four-game winning streak (nine touchdowns, one interception, passer rating 112.1), could stage a comeback if he maintains "red-hot form" – especially in the upcoming two "epic" games: away at Denver (11-2) and Chicago (9-4). If the Packers leap to the NFC's No. 1 seed (likely needing a 4-0 finish), while the Rams stumble against Detroit (8-5) and Seattle (10-3), or the Patriots slip against Buffalo (9-4) and Baltimore (6-7), Love would have a shot at MVP. But with his "humble" attitude, does Love really want to "accept" that title? Or is he sacrificing personally to save the Packers from the "tough phase"? The 2025 NFL drama is "hotter than ever"! Do you think Love is "playing a trick" to motivate the team? Comment now and follow for the "shocking" outcome of the MVP race!
