After the Raven's massive Christmas Day victory over the San Fransisco 49ers, Lamar Jackson seemed firmly in the driver's seat to receive his second MVP. However, many doubted that the NFL MVP race was a foregone conclusion and wanted to see how Jackson fared against MVP candidates Tyreek Hill and Tua Tagovailoa. Well, the result of the Ravens/Dolphins game has NFL fans and pundits ready to award him with the trophy right now.

Jackson was pivotal to the Raven's demonstrative 28-13 first-half advantage, putting on a clinic with his arm. He finished the half throwing for 255 yards (tied his career high for a half) and 3 touchdowns on 12/14 passing and no interceptions. He continued his stellar performance, finishing the game throwing for 321 yards and 5 touchdowns on 18/21 passing.

The NFL world was left in awe of Jackson's play in the blowout.

“I cannot wait to be entertained and laugh all week long by the mental gymnastics and dumb things people will say to argue that Lamar Jackson isn't deserving of MVP,” tweeted Sarah Ellison.
