Baltimore Beatdown
For the third time in his career, Lamar Jackson has won the Pro Football Writers of America MVP.
On Tuesday during minicamp, Baltimore Ravens quarterback was awarded his third Pro Football Writers of America MVP.
The award was originally voted on and announced January 22, but had not been given to Jackson as their season ended against the Buffalo Bills on Jan. 19.
“Jackson, in his seventh NFL season, started all 17 games, completed 316 of 474 passes (66.7 percent) for a career-high 4,172 yards, 8.8 yards per attempt (first in the NFL), a career-high 41 touchdowns (second in the NFL), only four interceptions, a 10.3 TD/INT ratio (first in the NFL) and a 119.6 passer rating (first in the NFL and fourth-best all time) with a passer rating of 100 or more in 13 games. He is the first player in NFL history to throw for over 4,000 yards, 40 touchdowns and fewer than five interceptions in a single season. Jackson rushed 139 times for 915 yards (6.6 yards per carry) and four touchdowns. He led a Ravens offense that was the first in NFL history to have over 4,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards in the same season and was first in total offense (424.9 yards per game). Jackson threw at least four touchdown passes in four games, including a pair of five-TD games. He was the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for Weeks 5, 7 and 10, and he was the AFC Offensive Player of the Month for October. Jackson was selected to the PFWA’s 2024 All-NFL and All-AFC teams.”
ESPN’s Jamison Hensley gave Jackson the award and Jackson expressed gratitude and a bit of teasing in his acceptance.
“To the Football Writers of America, I thank you guys so much,” Jackson said. “I appreciate you guys so much. Dang, got the MVP baby!”
