Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has made a strong case to win his third NFL MVP award, especially over the last three games. Jackson began receiving more consideration in the MVP race after throwing for five touchdowns against the New York Giants against just four incompletions.

Jackson's MVP candidacy grew on Saturday when he led the Ravens to a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers with three more touchdown tosses. Jackson's case only strengthened on Wednesday's Christmas Day matchup against the Houston Texans. His stats weren't overly impressive in the win over Houston—he threw for 168 yards and two touchdowns on 15 attempts—but he led the Ravens to a dominant 31-2 victory. The win was so large that Jackson came out of the game with 11 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
