FIRST TAKE | Lamar LOCKUP 3rd MVP - Stephen A Smith convinced Ravens QB shines to beat Bengals 41-38

FIRST TAKE | Lamar Jackson LOCKUP 3rd MVP - Stephen A. Smith takes hat on Ravens QB shines to beat Bengals 41-38

[@Balsohard806]

Correction!!! This was a ball game cause Lamar never gave up and made the throws if not it would’ve been a blowout by The Bengals. Henry was the mvp so far before this game. After this week Lamar is back in that mvp conversation.

[@1paybacc33]

I wonder how Steven A thinks Lamar got his first 2 MVPS. No 200 yard receivers just an amazing QB making crazy plays

They could both make that throw, hell Allen basically did last week, and Allen could maybe do a stiff arm. But I doubt either would have been fast enough to generate that space once picking the ball up. So yeah, only Lamar could make that whole play happen.

[@2kxTay]

The Ravens' defense has been just as bad outside of the game against the Bills. Also, Joe played well, but he also had a WR go for 193 yards. Half of those yards came on passes behind the line of scrimmage. Joe is great, but he also has arguably the best WR duo in the league.

Joe Burrow had a minute and 35 seconds left in the game before overtime,Dan.He didn't get the job done, and now they want to make an excuse for Joe Burrow. If Lamar would had that much time left on the clock and lost, Stephen A would have a different conversation a bout Lamar, couldn't win from behind.The Bengals had stopped the Ravens run game all day before that last 51 yard run.Lamar Jackson played lights out throwing the ball,and they are not talking about how great he played in that game. Now Derick Henry is the reason the Ravens won. Smh, Shannon Sharpe is right, Joe Burrow made a bad throw that cost the Bengals the game. All we hear is how bad the Bengals defense is, and nothing about how the Ravens defense was getting beat in the game. Joe Burrow needed to make a play when counted, he didn't, Lamar did!!

Uhh The best player on the field was Lamar Jackson, what the fuck is wrong with Dan? The best player on the field was the one whos team was down by 2 scores a few times in the 4th QTR and did whatever he needed to do TO BRING HIS TEAM BACK AND PUT HIS TEAM IN POSITION TO WIN THE GAME, and one of those great things called a football play that THE GREATEST/BEST PLAYER ON THE FIELD/THE BEST QB DID, was fumble the ball at the snap, proceed to grab the ball as D-Linemen are coming full speed down hill at him and with inches between him and a damn good... actually great Defensive lineman named hubbard. And hubbard has Lamar for sure in his grasp ready to bring him down and what does THE BEST PLAYER/QB ON THE FIELD DO??? HE PROCEEDS TO STIFF ARM THE HELL OUT OF HUBBARD NOT ONCE BUT TWICE TO AND ACTUALLY DRIVES HUBBARD IN TO THE GROUND WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY RUNNING TO THE SIDELINE TO THROW THE BALL AWAY TO AVOID A SACK AND WITH INCHES LEFT BEFORE LJ8-THE-GREAT GOES OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE LAST MINUTE LAMAR THROWS THE BALL WHILE ON THE MOVE WITH PIN POINT ACCURACY BACK ACROSS HIS BODY WHICH WE KNOW IS A LITTLE LEAGUE MISTAKE AS A QB YOU WERE TAUGHT TO NEVER DO THAT BCUS ITS A CARDINAL SIN AND NOTHING GOOD WILL COME FROM THAT....

No, no, no, No more making excuses for Joe Burrow and acting like he’s better than Lamar Jackson when he is clearly not. Joe Burrow is 1-5 vs Lamar Jackson head to head. You guys don’t put any blame on Joe Burrow when the Bengals lose but when the Ravens lose no matter how they lose it’s Lamar’s fault. You don’t take into account bad coaching decisions, bad play calling, bad offensive line play, bad defense, missed field goals when it comes to Lamar. You guys gave all of those passes to Joe Burrow and make excuses for him though. You need to treat these players equally when analyzing them. Joe Burrow’s team is 1-4. If Lamar Jackson was in the same situation he would end up getting all of the blame. Unlike with Joe Burrow and how it is deflected to his defense. Absolute bias against Lamar Jackson.
