Lamar Jackson was the best quarterback in the NFL this season. After all, he was first-team All-Pro.

Will he win NFL MVP? Perhaps. But he has bigger goals anyway.

Jackson makes more highlight plays than anyone in the NFL, and he made another to give the Ravens a 21-0 halftime lead against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night. With 11 seconds left in the half, Jackson danced around the Steelers’ pass rush, buying time and finding Justice Hill for a 5-yard touchdown. Jackson had 144 passing yards and 64 rushing yards at halftime.

Jackson was in the pocket for nearly seven seconds before throwing it to Hill. After that game, the crowd serenaded him with MVP chants.

What else could the Steelers do but shake their heads? Sometimes it’s impossible to defend Jackson.

“That’s Lamar, man,” Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said during a halftime interview with Amazon Prime Video. “He makes plays.”

The Ravens earned a 28-14 win.

Jackson has set many records in his young career and already has two MVPs, and voting for a potential third MVP this season is close. The only thing Jackson doesn’t have is a trip to the Super Bowl. He started this playoff season with a spectacular touchdown.
