Jackson had two turnovers in the first half of the game, something he hadn't done in any game since 2021. He bounced back in the second half, including leading the team's final drive, which nearly tied the game if not for Mark Andrews's unfortunate drop on a two-point conversion.

A soon-to-be three-time MVP, Jackson has improved in the playoffs over the last two seasons, but he still has much to prove.

If he inexplicably retired today, Lamar Jackson would be remembered as the greatest dual-threat quarterback of all time. No one else has ever had his elite combination of electric running and precision passing (with the latter arguably being even better).
