QB Lamar Jackson

Jackson is likely going to be the NFL MVP for the 2019 season because he’s just been so amazing in every facet of the game. But he’ll need to not only continue that but improve to ensure the Ravens walk out of every game with a victory.

When Jackson is at his best, Baltimore’s offense is absolutely unstoppable. He makes defenders panic, worrying about how to defend him and making sure they’re not the next ones whiffing at the air on his highlight reel. That means they constantly keep an eye in the backfield in an attempt to not get caught off guard. However, that ultimately makes them slower to react to runs inside by Mark Ingram and Gus Edwards or to the guys they’re supposed to be covering in the passing game.

However, Jackson has had a few lighter games this season where he’s been stifled early and the offense suffers a bit. Against these playoff teams, the Ravens’ best chances of winning comes from piling on the points early and forcing their opponents to play catch up, letting the defense load up against the pass and create big plays of their own.

Most importantly, he can’t have a multi-interception game like he did back in weeks 4 and 5. That was Baltimore’s last loss (in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns) but Week 5 wasn’t a whole lot better, needing overtime to beat the Devlin Hodges-led Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jackson doesn’t need to step up his game much but if he does, he’ll earn a Super Bowl MVP in a few weeks.
