Lamar Jackson was already probably on his way to his second NFL Most Valuable Player award this season, but if anyone still questioned Jackson’s value, this ridiculous play in the AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs confirmed it.
After all, when you’re Lamar, do you even need receivers? Not with 5:38 left in the first half. The Chiefs were up 14-7, and Jackson tried to get the ball off. But Chiefs safety Justin Reid deflected the pass to the flat. Generally speaking, that’s an interception waiting to happen.
Generally speaking, though, most quarterbacks aren’t Lamar Jackson.
LAMAR FREAKIN' JACKSON.
