Lamar Jackson is ‘The Real MVP’

Lamar Jackson NFL Baltimore Ravens Ravens AFC

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has taken home the 2024 NFL MVP Award, polishing his all-pro career with yet another milestone.

NFL fans were dismayed after Jackson’s bad performance in the AFC championship and rightfully so. Still, Jackson led his team to the No. 1 seed in the AFC and was the leading rusher on a team that ranked No. 1 in rush yards per game. Jackson fell just one game away from his first-ever Super Bowl appearance, though the scorners remain in bliss by his shortcomings.

Your NFL MVP, @Lj_era8. 💜

Ravens’ fans greatly want Jackson to win a Super Bowl championship and overcome the misnomers that he is incapable of winning big games. His 2-4 playoff record remains as the only blemish to his growing legacy. Hopefully, Jackson will use his MVP commemoration as motivation to fix the slight tendencies that are holding him back from greater glory.
