Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is no stranger to winning awards, having won more than a handful last season. But in 2020, Jackson hasn’t quite been up to his 2019 standards, making his AFC Offensive Player of the Week award for Week 14 all the sweeter.
Jackson helped the Ravens overcome the Cleveland Browns on Monday night, in what many have been calling the game of the year. The game was filled with big blows back and forth as both teams tried to keep pace with the other on the scoreboard. It was also filled with intrigue and some late-game heroics when Jackson had to go into the locker room to get treatment for cramps, arriving just as backup quarterback Trace McSorley went down with a knee injury. On the first play back in the game, Jackson threw a 44-yard touchdown to Marquise Brown before leading the team for one final drive to win the game.

Jackson finished the game completing 11-of-17 passes for 163 yards and a touchdown pass for a passer rating of 115.6. But he also added 124 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns on nine carries. While some players had better stats in Week 14, no one was as paramount to their team’s success as Jackson.
