Lamar Jackson outduels rookie Jayden Daniels to lead Ravens past Commanders, strengthen his own MVP case

A sensational start to his Washington Commanders career launched rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels into the conversation.

But the reigning NFL MVP got the upper hand on Sunday in a matchup featuring two of the league's most electric quarterbacks. Lamar Jackson outdueled Daniels to lead the Baltimore Ravens to a 30-23 win over the Commanders.

The win marked Baltimore's fourth straight victory following an 0-2 start and solidified Jackson's own campaign for a third career MVP trophy. The Ravens won with the same formula that got them to Sunday on a three-game wining streak — a one-two offensive punch featuring Jackson and running back Derrick Henry.
