Jackson deserves MVP consideration, but the Ravens being 8–5 probably sinks his hopes of a third award. He’s thrown for 29 touchdowns and only three interceptions while being on pace for his first 4,000-yard passing effort. Ultimately, he could easily wind up with more than 5,000 total yards, putting him in rare company.

Despite Allen’s best efforts, the Rams beat the Bills 44-42. The loss dropped Buffalo to 10-3 on the season, which trails the Chiefs by two games for the AFC’s No. 1 seed.
