Having already clinched their third straight trip to the playoffs, the Ravens can wrap up a second consecutive division title with a win. Then it’s off to the playoffs, where Jackson and Co. will continue their elusive quest for a Super Bowl crown.
The work Jackson has already put in is MVP worthy. It’s likely he’ll win back-to-back MVP honors this season or it will go to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
Jackson’s been remarkable through the air and on the ground.
He’s completed 300 of 442 passes for 3,955 yards, a career-high 39 touchdown passes, a league-best 8.8 TD%, just four interceptions, a league-high 8.9 yards per attempt and an NFL-best 121.6 QB rating. He’s also rushed for 852 yards and four touchdowns with a league-high 6.6 yards per carry.
Along the way, Jackson also became the league’s all-time leader in rushing yards by a quarterback.
He reached that milestone on Christmas Day during the Ravens’ 31-2 dismantling of the Houston Texans.
It was an outstanding 2024 for Jackson and it’s been a stellar season so far.
“There’s a lot of memories from 2024,” Jackson said. “I don’t think I have a standout. I don’t have a standout. It’s been a lot of blessings. I can’t complain. Great year.”
A great year that he’s hoping will lead to plenty more greatness ahead.
Asked for his New Year’s resolution, Jackson smiled and didn’t reveal it.
“I’m gonna try to keep it to myself,” Jacksons said.
One can only guess that Jackson is resolute to capture a Lombardi Trophy.
