Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson played his best game of the season this week as he led the team to a blowout win over the Detroit Lions, and he’s being honored by the league this week as a result.
On Wednesday afternoon, Lamar Jackson was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week by the NFL after a dominant game in which he led the Ravens to a 38-6 win over the Lions. In the game, Jackson went 21 for 27 through the air for 357 yards and three touchdowns while also accounting for 36 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
It was an elite performance from an elite player resulting in a well-deserved Player of the Week honor. And the NFL world had a lot to say about it as a result.
Lamar Jackson has been named AFC Offensive Player of the Week. It’s his ninth such honor but first in over two years (Week 5, 2021 season).

Lamar Jackson is the AFC Offensive Player of the Week after pulling a masterpiece against the Lions, with 393 total yards, four touchdowns and a passer rating of 155.8. That's the 9th time Jackson won the weekly award in his career. The first since Week 5 of the 2021 season.

During the offseason, there was a time when it looked like star quarterback Lamar Jackson had played his last game with the Baltimore Ravens as the two sides were on other ends of a contract dispute. They eventually came to terms with a new contract that will keep him in Baltimore for the foreseeable future, and based on Sunday afternoon’s performance it’s safe to say they’ll be glad to have him.
