OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens can send a message to the rest of the NFL by beating Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football.
On Thursday, Jackson's statement was this: "It's just like any other game."
During his 10-minute media session with reporters, Jackson downplayed Monday's game, which is a showdown of the two hottest teams in the league and the last two NFL MVPs.
In fact, this will mark the first matchup in NFL history between former MVPs who are 25 years or younger, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
