Allen repeatedly throws some of the most braindead interceptions you ever see from a good QB, which makes for an easy media storyline, especially when they lose.
Hurts has had a couple bad ones too (the game loser vs NYJ was horrific), but he’s also had several on deflections that either weren’t his fault or were unlucky. Plus they usually win. So it’s not the same easy media narrative.
I didn’t even notice Hurts has 12 turnovers this year. For how much we hear about Allen’s turnovers we never hear about Hurts turning it over.
Hurts has also been incredibly lucky when it comes to recovering his own fumbles this year.
He could have like 20 total turnovers if the bounces were less favorable.
Hurts will clutch up after the turnover and win the game is the difference

And Allen has 5 more TDs.
9 rushing TD in 10 games. If Hurts sets the record for single season QB rushing TD it will be a big deal.
