The Baltimore Ravens have wrapped up the 2024 NFL regular season with a touch of excitement and breaking records, largely thanks to their star quarterback, Lamar Jackson. In a thrilling season finale, the Ravens defeated the Cleveland Browns 35-10, which not only secured the AFC North title but also set the stage for an intriguing playoff run ahead.
Lamar’s Impressive Stats
During this remarkable season, Lamar Jackson completed impressive feats on the field. He finished the season with an outstanding total of 41 touchdown passes and just four interceptions. This impressive combination marks a historic achievement that no other player has managed before. Previously, the record for most touchdowns thrown with fewer than five interceptions was held by Aaron Rodgers, with 37 touchdowns in 2021. Jackson has certainly raised the bar this year, showcasing his unique skill set as a quarterback.
The Ravens Clinch the AFC North
As the Ravens clinched the AFC North title, their victory against the Browns was secured with a commanding performance. Lamar Jackson not only tossed those record-breaking touchdowns but also managed over 4,000 passing yards and 800 rushing yards throughout the season. This rare genious in both passing and rushing makes him a crucial player as Baltimore heads into the playoffs.
Underdog Browns Struggle
The Browns, on the other hand, were plagued with injuries and had to start their backups, which made their battle unbalanced. Fans witnessed Bailey Zappe and Dorian Thompson-Robinson take center stage, facing a fierce Ravens defense. With a disappointing 3-13 record this season, the Browns couldn’t seem to find their footing, especially against the powerful Ravens. It was a clear 35-10 defeat that solidified the Ravens’ dominance in the AFC North.
MVP Talks Begin
With the regular season behind them, the MVP discussions for Lamar Jackson are heating up. Despite achieving impressive stats, some critics are questioning whether his latest win over the Browns is enough to claim the prestigious title. Derrick Henry, a fellow player, took to social media to passionately endorse Jackson with the catchphrase “WE SCREAMING MV3.” Whether that’s enough to sway the voters remains to be seen, but it certainly doesn’t hurt Jackson’s case!
The Road Ahead for the Ravens
Looking ahead, the Ravens now have their sights set on the playoffs, with hopes of making a deep run and potentially even capturing the Super Bowl. Their next matchup will be against either the Steelers or the Chargers, depending on the playoff bracket. Fans are buzzing with anticipation as Lamar Jackson attempts to replicate the magic of this record-setting season on the big stage. As Jackson himself noted, “Every game is important now, and we’re ready for the challenge.””>
