MVP Debate
The second-year pro is looking like the new front-runner in the MVP debate.
Russell Wilson and three-time MVP Tom Brady have been in contention throughout the season.
Lamar exchanged jerseys after the game with the Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Watson signed his jersey with a message saying Jackson was the MVP.

Few players in football have been as impressive this season as Jackson.
If he continues to play at this elite level, he should be a top contender for the league’s MVP award and the Ravens will be especially difficult to beat for the rest of the season.
The Ravens will hit the road and take on the Los Angeles Rams this Monday at 8:15 p.m. on ESPN.
