**Lamar Jackson Secures AFC Offensive Player of the Week with Stellar Performance**

Lamar Jackson may not prioritize individual honors, but accolades naturally follow him. This week, Jackson was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for the 11th time in his career, thanks to a standout performance that propelled the Ravens to a thrilling 41-38 overtime victory against the Cincinnati Bengals.

In a game that Ravens fans won't soon forget, Jackson delivered a season-high 348 passing yards and four touchdowns. The Ravens had to claw their way back, overcoming two separate 10-point deficits in the fourth quarter. One of the most memorable plays came in the final moments when Jackson turned a potentially disastrous snap into a highlight-reel touchdown.

After mishandling a snap, Jackson scrambled backward to evade pressure, managing to stiff-arm Bengals' defensive end Sam Hubbard twice. Retreating toward the sideline, Jackson then launched an extraordinary throw from the 20-yard line into the end zone while being hit by Bengals linebacker Jermaine Pratt. His target, Isaiah Likely, made a remarkable leap between three defenders, including former Ravens safety Geno Stone, to secure the touchdown that narrowed the score to within three points.

Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh was effusive in his praise, calling it a "fabulous play that will go down in history." Indeed, Jackson's blend of athleticism and playmaking intelligence continues to set him apart. Over the team's current three-game winning streak, Jackson has thrown seven touchdowns with zero interceptions, embodying the type of performance that can define an MVP season.

Despite the fanfare, Jackson remains humble about his feats. When asked where the sensational touchdown ranked among his greatest plays, he simply responded, "It's cool. I don't know. It's cool." However, other players like Derrick Henry see Jackson's brilliance clearly. Henry remarked, "That was like [a] third MVP level for [Lamar Jackson]. He's the best player in the league; he's the G.O.A.T for a reason."

This latest accolade also marks the first time since 2019 that the Ravens have won AFC Offensive Player of the Week in consecutive weeks. Henry, who ran for 199 yards and scored two touchdowns in Week 4, secured the honor the previous week.

Lamar Jackson's ability to produce remarkable plays under pressure continues to earn him recognition and cements his position as one of the NFL's elite players.
