Three days before the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens square off at Arrowhead Stadium. The last time they played for the AFC Championship, the Chiefs beat the Ravens before they could get out to a good start. Although Lamar Jackson acknowledges that every game he plays is a revenge game, regardless of the opposition, now is an excellent opportunity to get retribution for that defeat.
According to Jackson, “I feel like every game I play in is a revenge game,” according to the team’s official website. Of course, defeating Patrick Mahomes would provide the utmost satisfaction. Why? The current MVP’s 1-4 record in games versus Kansas is not encouraging. Despite his assurances, he will not be viewing this game as a means of retaliation. “I just want to win, regardless of who we play or if we’ve previously beaten or lost to them.”
Despite Patrick’s shadow, Jackson’s accomplishments remain intact. The Chiefs signal-caller has completely changed the way the position is played, which is why we term “shadow.” Nevertheless, Lamar has won two MVP awards during the regular season. Even yet, it is still insufficient to describe him as good, much alone respectable. It seems like being mediocre would mean you have to be the Patrick of quarterbacks..
Is Lamar Jackson prepared to finally silence those who have criticised Mahomes? React.
Former NFL player Mark Schlereth did not hold back when he said, “You’re a two-time MVP and you piss down your legs in the playoffs,” back in July on The Stinkin Truth Podcast. You’re 2-4 in the postseason. Of your passes, you’re finishing 57% of them. Six interceptions have been thrown by you in addition to six touchdowns. Would you like to discuss what constitutes mediocrity? Lamar Jackson is a mediocre football player in the postseason.
Oh no! Perhaps, just possibly, there is a shred of truth there. But Jackson is not at all agitated by that. He stated that he feels prepared to play because he and his teammates have been playing well in the preseason. But “it’s time to go against somebody else,” he declared. And Patrick Mahomes adores his counterpart’s mindset and demeanour for just that reason.
Lamar Jackson is described by Patrick Mahomes as a “fantastic quarterback.”
Give credit where it’s due. And when it comes to Lamar, Patrick is the one who doesn’t hesitate to give it. Rather, he thinks highly of him. “His competitive style surpasses his physical prowess and throwing skills,” Pat told the media after practice on Sunday.
He added that Jackson competes each and every week to keep up his level of fitness. “It is evident that he is driven to succeed and assume responsibility for leading his team to win as many games as possible.” Here, Mahomes was correct. Lamar has demonstrated a strong desire to be the best version of himself during camp. with the sole intention of winning a championship in 2024. It would also create a new high in momentum to begin the season with a bang against the team that denied them that opportunity the previous year.
The Chiefs quarterback came to the conclusion, “That’s absolutely what it takes to be a great quarterback in this league.” Using the adjective “great” to characterise Jackson seems like the complete opposite of what Mark said when he very audaciously declared, “Lamar Jackson is mediocre.” But for you, that’s an MVP identifying another MVP.
We would know who was going to lose on Thursday. Yes, Patrick Mahomes and Kansas have the better odds, but when the stakes are great, you don’t gauge success by the numbers. That was a novice error.
