“I’m Trying to Win”: Lamar Jackson Ignores Statistical Marvel as Ravens Prepare for the Browns

In this league’s mid-season, Lamar Jackson has emerged as a strong contender for the MVP. From the offseason itself, he shunned all his haters by securing one of the highest quarterback contracts with the Baltimore Ravens. Now, it appears that the QB has been justifying his substantial pay by fulfilling his responsibilities effectively.

Despite posting a career-low 6.9 yards per attempt with 326 passes last year before hitting the injury phase, Jackson remained among the fan favorites. However, this year, he has raised the bar higher than ever! The Ravens are sitting on the top of the AFC North with a 7-2 record, and the quarterback has just three things to say about it all.

Lamar Jackson is on the right path to becoming an MVP!

During a recent press conference, the Ravens’ quarterback Lamar Jackson was asked about his views on his stats and the percentage growth from last year to this season. At first, Jackson smiled and shied away from answering. However, he soon revealed that he didn’t actually care about the numbers. The 26-year-old QB said, “I don’t have an answer. Just hard work, dedication, going out there just competing my tail off that’s all!”

He continued sidelining the importance of personal numbers, stating, “To be honest with you….I’m not just going to go and look and see what I did. I’m trying to win. I don’t really care about the stats this year.” Jackson, in his nine games this season, has a percentage of 71.5, which is more than his last year’s total percentage of 62.3.

Furthermore, last year, the quarterback ran for 2242 yards, but this season, with eight games still left in store, Jackson has already covered 1954 yards so far. With his average and accuracy increasing, Jackson is strengthening the chances of his MVP title this season. Meanwhile, the Ravens are heading toward their Week 10 game against the Cleveland Browns.
