And Ravens QB Jackson was the star of the show in Baltimore's 33-19 victory over the 49ers.
In a battle of the teams with the best records in the league, Jackson took control of the MVP race by out-duelling his 49ers counterpart Brock Purdy.
With two weeks remaining in the regular season, Jackson has leapfrogged Purdy as the favourite for the award to put Baltimore in pole position for top spot in the AFC.

If Jackson does win the coveted end-of-season award for a second time he will join some elite QB company.

Those two quarterbacks?
Brady and Jackson.
If Lamar is to realise his potential and emulate Brady's historic achievements he will have to remedy a postseason record that has seen him go 1-3 in the playoffs.
The last time Jackson led the Ravens to a first-round bye in the playoffs was in 2020 when they lost to the Titans in the AFC Divisional Round.
Jackson's only career playoff win came against Tennessee the following season, getting revenge in the 2021 AFC Wild Card game.
Baltimore would go on to lose to the Bills in the AFC Divisional Round the following week.
The topic of Jackson's disappointing postseason record was brought up more than once in the replies to a social media post from highlighting the strange synchronicity between Brady and Jackson's records.
One fan wrote: "How many Super Bowls does Lamar have though? Listen it's great to win in the regular season, but what matters most is playoff success."
Another added: "One had a *slightly* better postseason record."
"How many Super Bowl rings does Lamar have? I'll wait," replied a third.
Baltimore (12-3) can clinch the top seed on Sunday if they beat the Miami Dolphins.
