Jackson went 15-of-20 for 169 yards and five touchdowns with another 8 carries for 95 yards. He’s had three games this season with four or more touchdown passes and two games with five touchdown passes. He just became the first quarterback to throw for 3,000 yards and run for 1,500 yards in his first two seasons. After entering the season with 50-to-1 odds to win the MVP, it would now be a bigger shock if he didn’t win the award.

Jackson has turned out to be worth the picks that Baltimore traded away to get him in 2018. He’s changed the fortunes of the franchise and has been doing things that no player before him has ever done.
