Entering this season, Jackson was a long shot to win league MVP with 50-1 odds. Most Ravens fans were simply hoping for him to show signs of growth as a passer. He started out strong and turned some heads, but in these last few weeks, Jackson has legitimately built a case for why he should be voted the NFL’s MVP.

Jackson led the Ravens to a win in Seattle, making defenders look like fools with his legs when the passing game couldn’t get going. Against the Patriots, Jackson and Baltimore’s offense hung 30 points on a defense that had stifled opponents to a 7.6-point average through the first eight weeks of the season, forcing the entire nation to realize that he was for real. With his second perfect passer rating in Week 10, he strengthened his case for the MVP award.

Jackson has led one of the best offenses in the league. His dynamic running ability and his much improved passing ability have made him a nightmare for opposing defenses almost every week.
