Lamar Jackson’s Historic Season Deserves More Recognition
The NFL has witnessed greatness before, but Lamar Jackson’s current form is something special. With his sixth 5-touchdown passing performance, he’s inching closer to elite company, and it’s only the midpoint of his career. What’s more impressive is that four of these feats have been achieved with fewer incompletions than touchdowns – a record unmatched by any other player.
Efficient Football at Its Finest
Lamar is playing the most efficient football of his career, and it’s not even close. His stats are staggering: 34 passing touchdowns, only 3 INTs (none of which were his fault), and a league-leading yards per attempt and touchdown percentage on his attempts. He’s on track to surpass 4,000 yards, 40 TDs, and a remarkably low number of INTs.
Dual-Threat Dominance
But it’s not just his aerial game that’s impressive – Lamar’s also making waves on the ground. With over 900 yards rushing this season, he’s joined Mike Vick as the only other QB to top 6,000 rushing yards in his career. This dual-threat dominance is a testament to his exceptional skillset.
MVP Conversations
While Josh Allen has had an incredible season, Lamar’s stats suggest he’s playing a slightly better season. It’s essential to consider team record and supporting cast when evaluating MVP candidates, but Lamar’s performances deserve more national recognition. He’s got a chance to earn back the spotlight with upcoming nationally televised games against Pittsburgh and Houston.
Ravens’ Dominance
In Sunday’s game, the Ravens did what they needed to do against a weaker opponent. Despite some penalties and limited kicking opportunities, they accomplished their mission. With the Eagles set to face off against the Steelers, the Ravens might get a chance to even up the AFC North race at home. It’s going to be an exciting few weeks of football.
