B<\/a>altimore Ravens\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Lamar Jackson\u00a0did not win the\u00a0NFL\u00a0MVP award during the 2024 season, but many thought he should have. He put together a massive season both through the air and on the ground, but lost the award to\u00a0Buffalo Bills\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Josh Allen.<\/p>\n

When all was said and done, Jackson had completed 66.7% of his pass attempts for 4,172 yards, 41 touchdowns, and just four interceptions. In addition, he racked up 915 yards and four more touchdowns on the ground.<\/p>\n

Putting up that kind of production and not winning the MVP award does not happen very often.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to the 2025 NFL season, fans are curious to see what Jackson can produce. Can he back up his 2024 performance with similar numbers this year?<\/p>\n

ESPN has\u00a0released head-turning predictions\u00a0for the 28-year-old superstar quarterback.<\/p>\n

In their projections for the upcoming 2025 NFL season, they have Jackson taking a huge dip in production.<\/p>\n

Their numbers would see Jackson throw for 3,345 yards, 28 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. On the ground, they’re projecting him to record 793 yards and four touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Obviously, the numbers are just projections. Jackson will have the opportunity to blow past them and produce at the same level he did last season. For now, they’re just a prediction of a major decrease in performance.<\/p>\n

As for the Ravens, the team went 12-5 last season and were a serious contender in the AFC. They came up short in the divisional round of the playoffs against the Buffalo Bills and will look to come back even stronger in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
