Lamar Jackson was able to take home the NFL's MVP award on Saturday night but the Baltimore Ravens quarterback continued an interesting trend in the NFL. Upon winning the prestigious award, Jackson's MVP honor extends the poor postseason record for the recipient.

The Ravens had the best regular season of any team in the NFL this season. At the same time, Jackson recorded one of the most historic campaigns that a quarterback has had in the history of the game.

The second-year quarterback contributed 3,127 yards, 36 touchdowns, and six interceptions through the air. On the other hand, he also terrorized opposing defense as he rushed for 1,206 yards and seven touchdowns. Those gaudy numbers were good enough for Jackson to become the second unanimous MVP of all-time.

Heading into the postseason, most people envisioned the Ravens being the team to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. However, despite the expectations, Baltimore was upset by the Tennessee Titans in the Divisional Round. As a result, the MVP of the NFL isn't going to win the Super Bowl for the 20th straight year.

The last MVP to win the Super Bowl came in 1999 when Kurt Warner defeated the Titans. Since then, the regular-season MVP is 24-21 in the playoffs and only nine of them have made the Super Bowl. Notably, all nine of those MVP's were unable to prevail in the Super Bowl.

In Jackson's first two seasons, he's taken strides in the regular season to become a superstar quarterback. But in his third season, the newest MVP of the league is undoubtedly going to focus on succeeding in the playoffs in 2020.
