5. The most MVP moments:

What’s your favorite Lamar Jackson moment? It’s a hard question to answer, isn’t it. It’s like telling me what your favorite movie is; there are too many to choose from off the top of your head. Russell Wilson has had MVP moments. Has he had as many as Jackson? Absolutely not. Jackson opened the season with five touchdown passes and 324 yards. It doesn’t matter that he did it against the Dolphins, it was a wowing moment. In the second game of the season he had a clutch throw to Marquise Brown that won Baltimore a game.

In prime time games, Jackson has thrown for 11 touchdowns and has had a total of 788 total yards. By the way, the Ravens have only had three night games. Every time Jackson has been in front of a national audience, he has been the best player on their screen. While the Ravens were once ignored as much as possible during weekly NFL highlight reels, Jackson is often the star attraction of them now. He’s the biggest star in the NFL and that’s why he got the most Pro Bowl votes this year. 

Jackson makes history at a faster rate than the greatest of players. He against the Bengals he was the first quarterback to throw for over 220 passing yards and run for 150 in the same game. The Ravens are 10-0 in their last 10 games. Every week has become an MVP moment for number eight.
