Lamar Jackson Shows Brock Purdy Who the Real MVP is as Ravens’ Superstar Shuts Down Doubters With a Strong Statement

Big players step up on big days. And Lamar Jackson showed that he is the biggest gun in the arsenal of the Baltimore Ravens. Many had marked this game in their calendars, and ever since both teams qualified for the playoffs in pole positions, this game became even more special. And QB Jackson put his special magic on display.

The Ravens visited San Francisco and conquered the Levi’s Stadium. All doubts about the finality of the MVP race are wide open once again as Jackson makes the 49ers look average. Including his biggest rival for the MVP accolade; Brock Purdy.

Lamar Jackson puts up a question mark

Before the matchup, many had made up their minds for the MVP. Brock Purdy was at the forefront of their list, if not Purdy, then some other high-performing member of the 49ers squad. But Jackson once again reminded them of his dual threats.

So it should come as no surprise that Jackson’s teammate CB Brandon Stephens is in full support of his QB. After all, Jackson’s sublime air balls and rushing threats outdid the entire 49ers defensive unit.

As the Ravens won by 33-19, the 26-year-old put his name in contention to win the MVP for the second time. Jackson scored 2 TDs while covering 252 yards. Carrying a whopping 7 times while rushing as well. But it’s not the MVP glory that Jackson’s after.

The Ravens want a shot at immortality

“I’m honored to be in the conversation (MVP) I have one man! We just got to keep winning keep doing what we need to do to get to February (Super Bowl)”, said Jackson after the game. In his young career, Jackson has achieved a lot, but he lacks that missing piece of jewelry.

The Super Bowl ring is what Jackson and his team are after. So they’ll love to get a win next week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which would guarantee the top seed from the AFC for the Ravens. This top position will make their postseason journey far easier than any other team’s. So Lamar Jackson and Co. know exactly what they need to do.

Can Lamar Jackson take his team to Super Bowl glory? Let us know in the comments.
