achieved his second league MVP title this season. However, despite Jackson’s exceptional performance, the Baltimore Ravens were unable to reach the Super Bowl. Despite possessing the advantage of playing at home, finishing the season with the best record in the league, and securing a bye in the first round of the playoffs, all of their efforts were in vain when they were crushed by the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game, with a final score of 17-10.
Following that game, Jackson faced severe criticism from both the media and football enthusiasts. Despite his two-time league MVP status, he has yet to prove himself as a formidable player in the postseason. However, Fox Sports analyst defended Jackson by drawing an analogy.
Cowherd expressed on his show The Herd:

Jackson concluded the season with 3,678 passing yards and 821 rushing yards. Despite the Ravens’ failure to reach the Super Bowl, Jackson had an outstanding year and aims to build upon his success in the upcoming season.
During the NFL Honours ceremony on Thursday night, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson created history by winning The Associated Press NFL MVP award for the second time, despite falling short of his expectations for the season.
At the age of 27, Jackson became the youngest two-time MVP since the merger, surpassing Patrick Mahomes by a mere 9 months. The Ravens’ QB won by a significant margin and narrowly missed being chosen unanimously. In the 2019 season, Jackson and Tom Brady were the only players to receive all 50 first-place votes for MVP.

Jackson expressed:
Jackson and the Ravens concluded the regular season as the league’s top team, boasting a 13-3 record. However, their postseason performance was underwhelming, resulting in their elimination by the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game. Jackson is determined to guide his team to a Super Bowl victory at the earliest opportunity.
