The Baltimore Ravens quarterback was unveiled as the recipient of the NFL Most Valuable Player award for the 2023 season. This is the second time in his career that Jackson has taken home the MVP honors.

Jackson missed out on unanimous selection by a single vote. He received 49 out of 50 first-place votes and had a total of 493 points. The lone remaining first-place vote went to Buffalo Bills’ signal-caller Josh Allen. Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott finished second in the voting with 152 points, while San Francisco 49ers’ running back Christian McCaffrey finished third with 147 points.

Jackson is now the youngest two-time MVP in NFL history, surpassing Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes. He received his first MVP nod in 2019.

Jackson compiled his best career as a passer in 2023, completing 67.2% of his passes while throwing for 3,678 yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He also added 821 yards and five TDs on the ground while leading the Ravens to a league-best 13-4 record.

While taking the stage to receive the award, Jackson made sure to thank the Ravens’ for signing him to a new contract in the offseason.

“I want to thank my organization, the Baltimore Ravens, for finally getting the deal done,” said Jackson. “My offense [and] offensive line, I can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done. I’m not out there blocking and catching the ball and doing everything. It’s a team thing for these awards.”

Lamar Jackson and his Baltimore Ravens finally managed to overcome the Patrick Mahomes-led Kansas City Chiefs. In a Sunday night clash between the two AFC rivals, Jackson, who was previously 0-3 against the Chiefs, rushed for two touchdowns and added one passing score to propel the Ravens to a close-contested 36-35 win.

Things started badly for Jackson as he threw a pick-six on his third play of the game. Chiefs All-Pro safety Tyrann Mathieu intercepted the ball on a tough 3rd & 8 pass deep in Baltimore’s territory and managed to return it all the way to the end zone.

The Ravens managed to make things even on the following possession, although they did it in an unusual way. Running back, Ty’Son Williams fumbled the ball as he was trying to reach for the end zone, but wideout Devin Duvernay managed to pick it up in the air and score an unlikely touchdown.

The Chiefs then regained the lead thanks to a 33-yard pass from Mahomes to Demarcus Robinson, with Baltimore responding via newly-acquired back Latavius Murray after several punts by both teams. By the end of the first half, Kansas City put another seven points on the board while the Ravens had to be content with a 43-yard field goal by Justin Tucker.

The third quarter saw more of the same. The Chiefs scored on their first drive, and the Ravens immediately hit back on their first possession of the second half with a huge 42-yard play from Jackson to wideout Marquise Brown.

Kansas City responded with a 46-yard TD pass from Mahomes to tight end Travis Kelce to get a comfortable 35-24 lead.

Entering the fourth quarter, it seemed Mahomes and the Chiefs would remain unbeaten against the Ravens in the Lamar Jackson era. However, Jackson and Baltimore’s defense had other ideas.

The Ravens scored a TD to open the fourth quarter and then forced Kansas City to punt. Jackson used this opportunity to deliver another scoring drive that he capped off himself with an impressive flip into the end zone.

Baltimore now had a 36-35 lead but still had to stop Patrick Mahomes and a high-octane Kansas City Chiefs defense one last time. And they managed to do it in a spectacular fashion, with Odafe Oweh first forcing a fumble by Clyde Edwards-Helaire and then recovering the ball himself.

The win improved the Ravens to 1-1 and second place in AFC North, while the Chiefs are now third in AFC West with the same record.

Lamar Jackson finished the game with 239 passing yards and one passing touchdown adding 107 rushing yards and two TDs on the ground.

Mahomes, on the other hand, had 343 passing yards and threw for three touchdowns.

The 2020 NFL Pro Bowl game wrapped up on Sunday with AFC earning a 38-33 win and continuing their domination over NFC. The AFC All-Stars were fronted by Baltimore Ravens’ quarterback Lamar Jackson and Jacksonville Jaguars’ defensive end Calais Campbell, who were named MVPs on their respective end of the ball.

Jackson won the offensive MVP of the Pro Bowl, throwing for 185 yards and two touchdowns and adding 6 yards rushing.

“I didn’t really have an individual I wanted to learn from,” said Jackson, who was making his first Pro Bowl appearance. “I wanted to hear everybody’s stories. I wanted to hear what they had to pitch and put in our ear. It was just everybody.”

The Pro Bowl MVP award might be just the beginning for Jackson. He is also the front runner for the regular-season NFL MVP award after leading the Ravens to league-best 14-2 record. The 23-year-old finished the year with 3,127 passing yards and 36 touchdowns while adding 1,206 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns.

Campbell, who was participating at his third straight Pro Bowl, finished the game with one tackle and a crucial forced fumble, which was returned for a touchdown and sealed NFC’s win.
