Last night was all Colin Cowherd had to see to prove he was right about the NFL’s MVP.
Speaking on the Baltimore Ravens’ Christmas Day win over the 49ers, Cowherd took to his syndicated radio show to say it’s time to stop arguing for any other candidates outside of Lamar Jackson.
Last night wasn’t about the Niners. It really wasn’t. It was about the most disrespected team and the most disrespected quarterback in the National Football League. And for the love of God, stop showing me stats. I have eyes, I watch the games… Lamar Jackson was the best player on a field with 10 Hall of Famers and it wasn’t particularly close. Stop with the Tua, Dak, Brock Purdy nonsense… There’s nothing like him on the planet. Last night is what [an] MVP looks like.

Jackson was terrific vs. the NFC-leading 49ers with both his arm and his legs and thoroughly controlled the game along with Baltimore’s defense.
The Ravens now have the NFL’s best record at 12-3 and look like they can play with anyone, anywhere. Next up is a matchup with the 11-4 Dolphins before their season finale vs. the rival Steelers.
