With only three regular-season games left in the 2023 campaign, the Baltimore Ravens are looking like one of the best teams in the league and arguably the best team in the AFC, with the team sporting a record of 11-3, which is tied for best in the NFL with the San Francisco 49ers.
One of the main reasons for the Ravens’ success this season has been the play of NFL MVP candidate Lamar Jackson, who has played at a high level once again while also being able to stay healthy enough to lead his team to 11 victories this season.
As per usual, Jackson is getting it done with his arm and his legs this season, with the superstar quarterback throwing for 3,105 yards and 17 touchdowns while also rushing for 741 yards and five rushing touchdowns.
In Week 16 against the 49ers on Christmas Day, Jackson should top his career-high total for passing yards in a season (3,127) while trying to make a statement against arguably the best team in the league.
Jonathan Jones of NFL on CBS marvels at how talented Jackson is and the results the team gets when he’s playing at a high level while healthy.
“People shouldn’t be doing this out on NFL fields… but Lamar Jackson is doing it!”@jjones9 reminds us that while he may make it look easy, Lamar’s rushing skills are out of this world 💫 pic.twitter.com/A8w0v2V2Se

On Christmas Day, Jackson and company will be put to the test when they face their toughest challenge of the season against the 49ers on the road at Levi’s Stadium.
This will be a statement game for both teams in a potential Super Bowl preview, with the winner potentially being the consensus best team in the league while also having the NFL MVP under center.
