PITTSBURGH — Lamar Jackson is the odds-on favorite to be crowned NFL MVP this season. But that won't be because of his play against the Steelers.

Jackson has thrown for 2,677 yards and 28 touchdowns this year against just six interceptions en route to an AFC-best 11-2 record for his Ravens. That's not enough for him, though. Jackson's added 1,017 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground at a ridiculous 6.7 yards-per-carry clip.

Against the Steelers though? Not so much.
