Lamar Jackson has a chance to win his third MVP this year, as he has established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the league. However, that regular season performance hasn't completely translated to the postseason in his career.
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.

Ravens RB Derrick Henry reminded QB Lamar Jackson of Lightning McQueen in the team's wild-card round win over the Steelers.
Jackson and Henry had the Steelers chasing shadows all night as the AFC North champions outrushed their division rivals 299-29 in the wild-card matchup. It was the most rushing yards ever allowed by Pittsburgh in a playoff game, breaking the mark of 232 set by the Oakland Raiders 51 years ago.
