The Baltimore Ravens thrashed the Houston Texans on Saturday in the AFC divisional round, thanks in large part to NFL MVP favorite Lamar Jackson.
Jackson had an incredible day for Baltimore, throwing for 152 yards and two touchdowns to go along with 100 yards on the ground with two rushing touchdowns on 11 carries. He averaged a stunning 9.1 yards a carry.
He’s the clear favorite for the league’s highest honor after such a phenomenal season for the Ravens, and these five plays from the Texans win show exactly why he’s such a force to be reckoned with on the field.
Can anyone stop this guy? We’re not so sure.
He's the best scrambling quarterback in the NFL.
Lamar up the middle for 23!
