Following yesterday’s matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers, a game in which FOX analyst and NFL legend Tom Brady commentated, Brady interviewed Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson. In the interview, Brady presented Jackson with the LFG Player of the Game, an award created by Brady honoring the best player in each game he is a part of the broadcast crew for.
In the aforementioned game, the Ravens defeated the Steelers 34-17. With the finish, Baltimore and Pittsburgh currently hold identical 10-5 records, something that will result in a meaningful final stretch for both teams looking to win the AFC North title this year.
What Did Tom Brady Say About Lamar Jackson?
In the game, Jackson threw for 207 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and one interception, in addition to adding another 22 yards rushing.
In the previously mentioned video, Brady explains how Jackson has been impressive to watch this season and is excited for what the future holds for the two-time NFL Most Valuable Player.
“It has been awesome watching you play this year. I thought I had seen it all with the two MVPs already you’ve already won, and certainly being in the hunt again. Congratulations,” Brady detailed.
In response to the praise, Jackson showed his admiration and respect for Brady, the individual widely regarded around football as the greatest player of all time.
“Appreciate you, GOAT,” Jackson detailed.

Can Jackson Win His Third NFL MVP Award This Year?
Jackson remains firmly in contention for this season’s MVP award. Meanwhile, other players — namely Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley — are also among the favorites for the coveted regular-season award.
On the year, Jackson has thrown for 3,787 passing yards, 37 touchdowns, and only four interceptions. In addition, he’s added another 765 rushing yards and three more touchdowns on the ground.
Though it’s unclear whether Jackson will win his third MVP award at the conclusion of the season, it is certain that he’ll need to play at his best in order for the Ravens to have a successful playoff run in the coming months.
Though defeating teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo will be difficult, the Ravens and Jackson have the ability, talent, and aspirations of playing in the Super Bowl when it’s all said and done.
