Lamar Jackson and LeBron James– the friendship we never saw coming! LeBron stepped up to the line of scrimmage to call out the naysayers who persistently pegged Jackson as more of a running back than a quarterback. Meanwhile, Jackson, with a dazzling second MVP award under his belt, is orchestrating a string of success for the Baltimore Ravens. Critics take note–the scoreboard doesn’t lie. A 13-3 record, the Ravens clinching the coveted No. 1 seed in the AFC. As well, a golden ticket to a first-round playoff bye is all proof that Jackson is undeniably the maestro of his team’s playbook.

Now, as the Ravens gear up for the grandest showdown of them all, the Super Bowl, Jackson is eyeing the end zone alongside his strategic partner in crime, head coach John Harbaugh. With Baltimore positioned at the helm of the AFC, Harbaugh is wisely contemplating a tactical move. Potentially resting his starters in Week 18 to ensure they hit the playoff ground running with a well-deserved 14-day break. Amid the shenanigans, LeBron stepped up to speak about the former NFL MVP.
