NFL World Reacts to Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ AMAZING Christmas Day Performance

The San Francisco 49ers, entering the Christmas Day matchup with an impressive 11-3 record, found themselves amid MVP discussions for standout players Brock Purdy and Christian McCaffrey. However, the Baltimore Ravens had different plans, delivering a resounding beatdown at Levi’s Stadium. This turn of events saw Lamar Jackson reclaim his place in the MVP race with a stellar performance, accumulating 297 yards and two touchdowns.

As the 49ers' home crowd erupted in MVP chants for Jackson, there was a clear dismissal of Purdy's candidacy by fans. Former teammate Robert Griffin III confidently declared Jackson the MVP winner, and ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter added weight to Jackson's case by highlighting his outstanding 20-1 record against NFC opponents.

Despite a minor setback with an early intentional grounding penalty, Jackson addressed the postgame MVP discussions with humility, expressing gratitude for being in the conversation and emphasizing the importance of continued success. The Ravens, in a convincing display, silenced skeptics like Mike Florio, who had predicted a lopsided victory for the 49ers. The result not only reinforced Jackson's MVP standing but also showcased the team's resilience and championship potential as they look ahead to February.
