Lamar Jackson! Oh man this QB has the entire NFL world biting their nails. Everyone was aware of his immense potential before this season, but the man has done so much more. It appears that this year has been particularly fruitful for him. And from making history to setting outstanding seasonal marks, it appears that Jackson is far from done. But, with all of this, can he win the MVP?

This was a big question, and until week 16, and the answer? Well, that would have been no. Wait, but why? The reason for this ‘no’ was the Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who has also been impressive this season. However, it appears that following Week 17, Lamar Jackson is once again the front-runner for the MVP. Really?

Well, of course, after watching the game between the Ravens and the Texans, can you predict something else? For those who missed it, this was discussed on Get Up ESPN. And there, ex-NFLer Andrew Hawkins revealed how much astonishment Jackson had caused the NFL. Hawk explained, “We’re watching Lamar Jackson do things we didn’t even think were possible at the quarterback position.”

But, what precisely did the QB achieve? Well, everyone knows the Texans lost badly to the Ravens, 31-2. The reason for this is that Lamar Jackson entered the field in god mode. The man rushed for 87 yards in addition to his 168 passing yards and two touchdowns. But why is the rushing yard so important? Jackson actually had a 48-yard touchdown run among his running yards. And that was at his career’s peak speed of 21.25 mph, shattering many records. Just Wow! 

The QB’s run garnered a lot of headlines, and even the team’s head coach thought it was a great play. And for this great run, John Harbaugh is proud of his QB. But wait, there’s another twist. The HC isn’t proud of the plays Jackson has made. So what is he actually proud of?

John Harbaugh is pleased that Lamar Jackson has conquered every challenge

Obstacles are constantly present for NFL players. And what distinguishes an NFL legend from a regular player is his ability to overcome those obstacles. John Harbaugh agrees with this thing and believes Lamar Jackson is one of these legendary players. The HC is very proud of him for coming out of the obstacles and making wonderful plays.

In the post-game conference, Harbaugh revealed, “I’ve seen a lot of great plays from Lamar Jackson. I told him I was proud of him. I’m not just proud of him just because he makes great plays. I’m proud of him for all the things that go into making great plays and also for all the things he’s overcome along the way.” 

Lamar Jackson is on track to pass for 4000 yards and 40 touchdowns this season. And due to this, he has the potential to make history. The Ravens have qualified for the playoffs, which means that the quarterback will play a couple more games. And if the quarterback continues to play like he did in Week 17, it’s easy to believe he’ll be the MVP.
