The only remaining argument against Lamar Jackson being the 2023 NFL MVP was that he didn’t have gaudy statistics.
Cross that one off the list too.
Jackson threw five touchdowns and posted a perfect passer rating in the Ravens’ 56-19 victory over the Miami Dolphins Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium.
On a day in which the Ravens clinched the AFC North and No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs, Jackson pretty much sewed up his second MVP. The only question is whether the vote will be unanimous like in 2019.
Jackson was 18-of-21 for 321 yards passing and added 35 yards on the ground. He had more touchdown passes than incompletions. It’s his third career game with a perfect passer rating, tied for the most in NFL history with Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger and Kurt Warner.
The 56 points are the most the Ravens have ever scored at M&T Bank Stadium.
“I’m very confident,” Jackson said. “Having the freedom to do whatever I want to when I see things out on the field. That’s the kind of game I like. We were dialing it up, being aggressive.”
