“I Don’t Want Him To Win Again”: Skip Bayless Fires Opinion On Lamar Jackson’s MVP Consideration

Lamar Jackson, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, is being touted to win MVP for the third time in his career. However, TV personality, Skip Bayless, wants something better for him. According to Bayless, Lamar Jackson deserves to win the AFC Championship Game and more.

Lamar Jackson has indeed had a great season with the Baltimore Ravens so far. With the 28-year-old in the lead, the Ravens finished the season at the top of the AFC North after winning 12 games and losing five so far. In their last game of the regular season, the Ravens faced the Cleveland Browns and won the game 35-10. Next up, Baltimore will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in a wild card round, hoping for a spot in the playoffs.

“I can make a strong case that Lamar Jackson deserves MVP , but I don’t want him to win again. I want him to win the AFC Championship Game. I wouldn’t mind it if he won his first Super Bowl. But no MVP when, unfortunately, Lamar is just 2-4 in the playoffs. He (has) six touchdowns to six interceptions in the playoffs, with three lost fumbles.”, Skip Bayless said on Tuesday.

Despite Lamar Jackson performing really well this NFL season, the Baltimore Ravens failed to make it to the playoffs. Still, because of their stellar record, the Ravens are considered an easy wild-card team and will try their best to win against the Steelers in their next game.
