Shawne Merriman on Lamar Jackson: "He's Michael Vick 2.0"

The Ravens are standing strong in the AFC with a 7-2 record and are just one game behind the Patriots (who Baltimore beat in Week 9) for first place in the conference. Football may be a team sport, but the NFL hands out an MVP trophy for a reason and right now the Ravens' success is largely due to the incredible play by quarterback Lamar Jackson.

In Week 10, Jackson became the first player in NFL history with two games of a perfect passer rating (158.3) in his first 16 career games. He's now the second player (Ben Roethlisberger, 2007) ever to do it twice in the same season, and is just the sixth player in history with multiple career perfect passer ratings.
