Ja Morant was named NFL MVP after a wild Ravens-Bills game

Memphis Grizzlies star I Morant he doesn’t budge on the NFL MVP vote because everything is fine Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Even after the Ravens lost 27-25 Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round, Morant had Jackson’s back. Morant quickly jumped to X, formerly Twitter, to remind everyone“8 still MVP,” referring to Jackson’s jersey number, and it’s hard to say otherwise.

Jackson’s regular season numbers were ridiculous, like the stats we see in video games. He led the league with 41 total touchdowns, threw just four picks, posted a 119.6 passer rating and rushed for 915 yards. Not surprisingly, his consistency and efficiency earned him All-Pro honors for the second year in a row.

But Sunday’s game wasn’t Lamar’s best. He committed two first-half turnovers, including a costly fumble at the Bills’ 28-yard line that was returned 39 yards to set up a Buffalo touchdown. It was the fourth postseason game in which Jackson threw an interception and lost a fumble. and the Ravens are 0-4 in such games. Jackson’s playoff record now stands at 3-5, including 1-4 in the division and conference championships.

And it wasn’t just Lamar who had a bad day at the office. Mark Andrews, his favorite guy, picked the worst possible time for a night off. He hasn’t dropped a pass since Week 6, but on Sunday he had two drops and one on a two-point conversion that could have tied a game that couldn’t have been more unfortunate.

The touchdown sealed the loss for Baltimore after Jackson connected with Isaiah Likely for a 24-yard touchdown to cut the deficit to two points. Andrew also fumbled earlier in the fourth quarter, just his second career fumble. Luck was not in his favor at all. However, the team supported him.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh praised himsaying, “We wouldn’t be here without Mark Andrews.” Lamar also made sure to stop any blame shifting, saying, “It’s not his fault. This was a team effort.”

On the other hand, the Bills kept things going well enough to get over the line. Josh Allen he got the job done with 127 passing yards, 22 rushing and two touchdowns. However, Buffalo’s defense stole the show. They forced three turnovers, including the one against Andrews, and held the Ravens in check.

So now Buffalo (15-4) will prepare for the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs, while Baltimore (13-6) heads into another offseason with plenty of research to do.
