The Purple Pain has climbed atop the AFC division. The Baltimore Ravens faced off against the Jacksonville Jaguars in a Week 15 game on Sunday at EverBank Stadium. In the game, the Ravens won 23-7, and quarterback Lamar Jackson took the spotlight again with his performance, bolstering his MVP chances.

Furthermore, with this win, the Ravens have a 69 percent chance of finishing the season as the top seed in their division, which comes with the benefit of a first-round bye in the playoffs. While it’s a time of celebration for the Ravens, coach prime Deion Sanders is happy with the team’s win but also concerned about Jackson and his team’s offense.

Deion Sanders likes the team, but doesn’t love it?

In the Sundy’s episode of Nightcap podcast, Deion Sanders, along with his co-hosts Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson, talked about the Ravens and Lamar Jackson’s potential situation, especially after the Jaguars game. The Colorado head football coach said, “I like ’em, but I don’t love ’em. The reason I don’t love ’em is because they do everything good, but I don’t see what they do great.”

He emphasized the importance of being able to stop the run and run the ball effectively in the playoffs. Coach Prime admitted that the team could do both but it always comes down to Jackson to adhere to the role. He pointed out that Lamar Jackson receives criticism because when he doesn’t have an outstanding game, it seems like he has to carry the entire offense and team on his own.

Therefore, Sanders concluded that when Jackson don’t have a great game, everyone starts blaming him, ignoring the faults of his teammates. Coach Prime and HOF Shannon Sharpe once again defended Jackson, urging him to elevate his goodness to greatness on and off the field, which could also help him clinch the MVP this time.

Meanwhile, in the game, Jackson showed his critics how great of an athlete he was even with a handful of spectacular plays.

And Lamar Jackson could be the MVP this season…

Lamar Jackson didn’t pay heed to the talk about other MVP contenders. Instead, he chose to showcase his talent with some amazing plays on Sunday. This led to Ravens 23-7 victory, securing their first playoff berth in the AFC. Despite modest stats, Jackson impressed with his ability to escape pressure and make crucial plays against a tough Jaguars defense.

One notable moment was when he eluded a sack twice from Dawuane Smoot, threw a deep pass to tight end Isaiah Likely, and set up a scoring play. This performance solidified the Ravens’ win, and Jacksonville couldn’t recover after that. Eventually, the Jags lost to the Cowboys with 16 points, putting forth an utterly dominant performance.
