I’m not surprised at all, and nobody reading this should be. While I can make a case for Russell Wilson being the MVP, Jackson has been the biggest storyline in the NFL.
He has taken the league by storm ever since taking over as the Ravens starting quarterback. He’s improved by leaps and bounds since the end of last year.

I’ve never seen anything like it before. Jackson isn’t just dominating. He’s putting up numbers that look like they’re out of a video game.
Remember when people thought he wouldn’t be able to play quarterback in the NFL? That sure was fun.

The question now is how long can he keep this up for. Running quarterbacks don’t have a great history of having long careers.
Of course, quarterbacks also don’t do what Jackson does. I certainly wouldn’t want to be betting against him.
