Lamar Jackson Clinches Second NFL MVP Award as Baltimore Ravens Quarterback

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson secures his second NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP) award, receiving 49 out of 50 votes, with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen grabbing the other. This recognition highlights Jackson’s outstanding performance during the regular season, where the Ravens boasted the league’s best record at 13-4.

Expressing gratitude to his team, Jackson acknowledges the collective effort behind his success, emphasizing the role of his offensive line and teammates. This marks Jackson’s second MVP honor, joining the ranks of just nine players in the Super Bowl era to achieve multiple MVP awards.

Despite impressive statistics, including 3,678 passing yards and 24 touchdowns along with 821 rushing yards and five touchdowns, Jackson underscores the team’s dominance throughout the season. While the Ravens clinched the top seed in the AFC Conference, their playoff journey ended with a loss to Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game.

Following extensive negotiations, Jackson signed a lucrative five-year contract worth $260 million with the Ravens in April 2023, briefly becoming the NFL’s highest-paid player. The NFL’s annual awards ceremony coincides with Super Bowl week, held this year at the Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas, where other notable recipients include Coach of the Year Kevin Stefanski, Comeback Player of the Year Joe Flacco, Offensive Player of the Year Christian McCaffrey, Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett, Offensive Rookie of the Year CJ Stroud, and Defensive Rookie of the Year Will Anderson Jr.
