I think we got a tight MVP race in the NFL and it's coming from second year guy.
Not enough can be said regarding Lamar Jackson's phenomenal play this year. The Baltimore Ravens are enjoying one of their best years in a long time and last year's first round pick is the quarterback that is lighting up the field. The running game is through the roof and being led by him followed by veteran back Mark Ingram. Both have combined for over 1500 yards rushing and 15 rushing touchdowns. Gus Edwards even has over 400 yards. You never know who is going to get it.
But the improvement in throwing the ball has been a highlight for Jackson. And some thought he would be better as a wide receiver. The numbers speak for itself. Leading the league at the time of this blog with 24 passing touchdowns and just over 2400 yards. Completing two thirds of his passes helps because the defenses have to be honest and figure out Baltimore's power. Plus, he hasn't turned the ball much. Only five picks and five fumbles. There is still room to keep improving, but you are looking at a potential Super Bowl winner.
Baltimore is back in good form and the defense's mix of young and veterans keep themselves in the game. Only their opponents can figure out the codes to make them vulnerable.
