Lamar Jackson wins NFL MVP unanimously, and this MVP season transcended the game

MIAMI — Not all NFL MVPs are the same. Some transcend a season. A few even change the league.

We will remember Lamar Jackson’s 2019 season in a historic way. The Baltimore Ravens quarterback won his first MVP award on Saturday night at the NFL Honors show, and he did it with a season unlike anything else in the NFL’s first 100 seasons.

“It feels good to win the award,” Jackson said after the NFL Honors show Saturday night.

The voters recognized how special Jackson’s season was. He was the second unanimous MVP in history, joining Tom Brady in 2010.
