Watch: Ravens QB Lamar Jackson throws wild 30-yard TD to Zay Flowers

By Clark Dalton | Last updated 1/28/24

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is showing why he should win MVP for the second time in his career in the AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

On a first-and-10 at the Kansas City 30-yard line, the 2019 NFL MVP launched a deep ball to rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers for a 30-yard TD, tying the game at 7-7 with 4:58 remaining in the first quarter. Jackson also had a 21-yard run on a fourth-and-1 that set up the TD.

LAMAR. ZAY. WHAT A PLAY.

Jackson is one of the best QBs in the league, yet postseason success has eluded him. He has yet to make a Super Bowl appearance and holds a 2-3 2-3 record in the playoffs.

However, he's quelling his skeptics this postseason. In a 34-10 divisional-round victory over the Houston Texans, Jackson became the first QB since 1948 with at least two passing TDs, two rushing TDs, 100 rushing yards and a 100 passer rating.

With the AFC title game nearing halftime, Jackson has completed 2-of-4 passes for 39 yards and has two carries for 23 yards.
