Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has consistently earned increasing praise from his peers, this time it’s from Baltimore Ravens MVP-winning quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Lamar Jackson wasn’t in a mood to celebrate. Sure, his Baltimore Ravens had just clinched the AFC North with a Week 18 victory over the Cleveland Browns, but Jackson arrived at the postgame podium still in uniform,
The Baltimore Ravens are AFC North champions. The Cleveland Browns are waiting to see if they'll pick No. 1 overall in April's draft. Cleveland lingered around for the better part of three quarters before the Ravens opened things up in the fourth quarter.
Jackson became the first quarterback in NFL history to surpass 4,000 passing yards and 800 rushing yards in a season.
In the new episode for HBO Max's Hard Knocks, which comes out on Tuesday night, cameras caught a moment where Jackson detailed the moves he does in order to avoid Garrett sacking him. These moves must've worked out well for the quarterback, as he wasn't sacked during the Ravens' 35–10 win over the Browns last Saturday.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, a two-time NFL MVP, is playing the best football of his career, something his play affirmed on Saturday in his Week 18 matchup against the Cleveland Browns,
Late in the second quarter, Jackson used his incredible running ability to escape the Browns' defense. He even had Cleveland's defensive star, Myles Garrett, helplessly falling to the ground after grabbing him by the arm. As mentioned, fans couldn't help but troll the Browns after the play, with many pointing out how Lamar Jackson embarrassed them.
He's won MVP awards and dominated in the regular season. But for Baltimore to reach its ultimate goal, Jackson must deliver in the playoffs.

Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens return to the postseason with a lot of the same strengths they had a year ago.
With 10:42 left in the third quarter, Jackson found wide receiver Rashod Bateman in the end zone for a seven-yard touchdown pass made all the more special by the fact that Jackson started celebrating before Bateman even caught the ball.
