As midseason awards season rolls around, the spotlight shines on the Baltimore Ravens, with Lamar Jackson leading the pack for MVP.

Take a look at the accolades garnered by the Ravens from different sources:

“Scariest team: Baltimore Ravens. No team has been as dominant as the Ravens. Lamar Jackson is playing at an MVP level while the offense is thriving under new coordinator Todd Monken. Defensive Coordinator Mike Macdonald has led the unit to become the league’s best. The Ravens have been impressively victorious against strong NFC teams such as Detroit and Seattle. Baltimore surpassed expectations and outperformed teams like Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and Kansas City; truly reaching unprecedented levels.”

“Most improved player (defense): Geno Stone, S, Baltimore Ravens. Stone has emerged as a breakout star this season after filling in for an injured Marcus Williams. His exceptional play has even put him in the running for a Pro Bowl selection, showcasing a remarkable journey from being waived as a rookie to becoming a standout player for the Ravens.”

“Best assistant coach (defense): Mike Macdonald, Baltimore Ravens. Macdonald has led the Ravens’ defense to great success, allowing the fewest points and second-fewest yards in the league. His unit has excelled in creating pressure and maximizing the talent of players like Geno Stone and Justin Madubuike. Macdonald’s consistency sets him apart from other defensive coordinators in the league.”

Chadiha predicts that the Ravens will emerge victorious over the Eagles in the Super Bowl.

“MVP: Lamar Jackson, QB, Ravens. Jackson’s exceptional performance, both as a passer and a runner, has solidified his position as the best player in football in the first half of the season. With impressive passing statistics and unparalleled running ability, Jackson has undoubtedly earned the MVP title.”
