As the year played out, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson became the clear favorite to win the NFL MVP – and won it almost unanimously at the NFL Honors Awards presentation on Thursday night. Jackson received 49 of the 50 first-place votes, missing out on becoming the first two-time unanimous MVP in NFL history. He’s the 11th multiple-time winner of the award, the youngest quarterback to win it twice, and the second-youngest player behind Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown. The NFL world reacted to Jackson’s feat: Nick Shook of NFL.com – “The most important element — a Super Bowl appearance and/or victory — remains missing from his resume. But with The Ravens’ season didn’t end the way they expected or wanted it to. After a dominating regular season that resulted in a 13-4 record, a North championship only just entering his 7two-time MVP.”
The Ravens’ season didn’t end the way they expected or wanted it to. After a dominating regular season that resulted in a 13-4 record, a North championship and the No. 1 seed in the AFC, Baltimore suffered a heartbreaking 17-10 loss at home to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game. But that doesn’t take away from the accomplishments during the regular season.
