A complete offense:

You cannot have the league’s best running offense without exceptional play from the offensive line; and that’s what Baltimore has been getting out of theirs. Marshal Yanda has been playing some of his best football in his 13th season wearing the purple and black. Ronnie Stanley also has made an extremely strong case for the Pro Bowl as he is still yet to let up a sack. Overall, Baltimore has allowed the top three fewest quarterback hits in the NFL and that is so important when your quarterback is the MVP front runner.

Lamar Jackson. There are not enough words in the dictionary to fully describe how dominant he has been on the field. He is gaining more media attention on a weekly basis due to him seemingly pulling off an incredible run every game. However, he isn’t aiming for the individual attention or the accolades; Jackson wants to win the Super Bowl. Jackson at only 22 years old possesses so much poise and control on and off the field. He gives his coaches and teammates all the credit for the team’s success meanwhile everyone in the organization credits his leadership along with his MVP numbers. Jackson has been providing an offensive spark that has never existed in Baltimore, or anywhere else for that matter. If you disagree then Mark Ingram has some words for you.
