“GOATs in the Making”: Lamar Jackson Utters High Praise for Patrick Mahomes as Ravens Hope to Cement Elite Standing

Star quarterback Lamar Jackson has great respect for his adversary, Patrick Mahomes. The Baltimore Ravens will host the AFC championship after 53 years as they welcome the Kansas City Chiefs to M&T Bank Stadium. The fans anxiously await the much-hyped game as the teams will lock horns after three years.

Patrick Mahomes has made his way to the sixth straight AFC championship game. The two-time Super Bowl champions are a real threat to any team, but Baltimore, this time, seems more than ready to maintain their elite status quo of never losing in the Lombardi game. Lamar Jackson applauded Patrick Mahomes in a recent presser, taking nothing away from his team.

Lamar Jackson respects his foe from Kansas City

In the presser, a reporter referred to what Patrick Mahomes said about Lamar Jackson recently, “He (Patrick) watched you in college, he knew this was gonna take place, there was going to be these battle between you and him going down for years to come.” He asked Jackson to enlighten him about what he thinks about Patrick Mahomes: “Your respect level to him, and do you feel the same?”

Lamar Jackson didn’t take time and replied, “Definitely.” He acknowledged that he didn’t have time to watch the Chiefs’ game. We understand as the teams didn’t have a single game in the regular season. He praised Patrick Mahomes when he finally watched the games, “It was a no-brainer you know he is one of those guys, he one of the GOATs in the making.”

Former MVP Patrick Mahomes is undoubtedly on his way to becoming the next GOAT but taking nothing away from Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, they will try to maintain their Super Bowl record by winning the next two games.

The Ravens are just two steps away from securing an elite record

The Baltimore Ravens are the only team alongside the Bucs who have won two but never lost a Super Bowl game once. The Ravens won 34-7, their first in 2001 against the New York Jets and the second in 2013 against the San Francisco 49ers 34-31.

With the Bucs out of the playoffs, Lamar Jackson and his side have a decent chance to make it three and cement their name as an elite NFL team with three Super Bowl wins without a single loss. The Ravens have undoubtedly played like champions throughout the season, but now they must defeat Patrick Mahomes and Co. to take the AFC and come closer to the exceptional team record.
