Undeniably the Baltimore Ravens hosting the Houston Texans was supposed to be the highlight game of week 11 in the NFL. Furthermore, it billed Deshaun Watson against Lamar Jackson; two NFL MVP candidates.
Then, it was completely lopsided. Indeed, it wasn’t the first time we have seen a good NFL team mystified by Jackson’s talent and play. For example, Jackson threw four touchdowns and no interceptions. Also, he ran for 86 yards on the ground. The Texans had no answer for him and lost the game 41-7.
On the other hand, Watson looked as pedestrian as he has all season. Following the game, Watson let everyone know who he feels is the real MVP with a smile.

Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh can’t believe the play he’s getting out of his young QB. Therefore, he allowed for a little dental humor in his postgame quote.
“That was remarkable. It was incredible,” coach John Harbaugh said of Jackson’s downfield foray against Houston. “I haven’t seen anything quite like it — since last week.”
Notably, Mark Ingram put it best on Jackson’s play; where it seems like every week he’s doing something else for us to talk about.
“He keeps one-upping himself.”
Obviously if Jackson keeps this up, the sky is the limit for the Ravens. Not only should be win the MVP award, but they have a chance to challenge the New England Patriots for the AFC crown to represent that conference in the Super Bowl.
Still, one must feel a little bit like Bill Belichick finds a way to slow down Jackson in the big moment just in the nick of time. Little Bill is that way.
Finally, until that happens; Get More Sports is locked full-throttle on Lamar Jackson. He’s a lot of fun to watch right now.
