Jackson has been named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for the fifth time this season. He joins Tom Brady (2007) and Cam Newton (2015) as the only players to win conference offensive player of the week five times in the same season.
Both Brady and Newton won MVP those years.
If Jackson somehow doesn’t win the MVP award after this season, he will be justified in asking, “What else do I have to do?”
Jackson’s latest player of the week award comes after he threw five touchdown passes against the New York Jets in Week 15, leading the Ravens to a 42-21 victory. He completed 15 of 23 passes for 212 yards, in addition to rushing eight times for 86 yards. Once again, Jackson was the most dominant player on the field.
It was the third time this season that Jackson threw five touchdown passes in a game, and Jackson and Newton are the only players in league history to rush for at least 85 yards while throwing five touchdown passes in the same game.
