It’s not much of a stretch for Tigers
Lamar Jackson has had a historic season. Here’s how it stacks up against QBs over the years.
By now it is a foregone conclusion, as sure a thing as a Justin Tucker field goal: Lamar Jackson will be named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player.
The Ravens quarterback has been so good for so many weeks this season that he will not be needed in Sunday’s regular-season finale at M&T Bank Stadium. Entering their Week 17 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ravens already have secured home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs. Their most brilliant star can stop and rest for once. Seasons this special don’t come around often.
By Week 10, Jackson had already posted his second perfect passer rating. By Week 15, he’d broken Michael Vick’s single-season rushing record for a quarterback. By Week 16, he’d led the Ravens to a franchise-best 11 straight wins. Slowly, the best-ever regular season for a Ravens quarterback started to approach more hallowed ground.
