Lamar Jackson is not only having the best season of his career. He may finish with the best season of anyone's quarterback career.

Jackson currently sits No. 2 behind only Aaron Rodgers in single-season quarterback rating. Jackson's is 121.6. Rodgers finished the 2011 season with a 122.5 QB rating.

Jackson has topped that QB rating in seven games this season, including two of the past three games. He was asked Tuesday if setting that record would be meaningful to him.

"If I'm in my childhood mindset [with] breaking a record, yes," Jackson said. "But I'm trying to win games, so it really [doesn't] matter. If it happens, it happens. If it [doesn't, it] probably will happen sometime down the line."

Jackson said last week that winning his third MVP is not his focus, but it also bears noting that the full-time starting quarterbacks who finished with the top five QB rating seasons in NFL history all won MVP: Rodgers (2011 & 2020), Peyton Manning (2004), Tom Brady (2007), and Matt Ryan (2016).

Asked whether Jackson should win the MVP award, Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum said, "yes, absolutely."

"I get to see Jackson every day [and] the things he's able to do, and then carrying it over to the game," Linderbaum said. "He's just a special player. He's extremely fun to play with – just the things he's able to do – and think there's no one more deserving of that award than Lamar Jackson."

Odafe Oweh Wants to Enter Double-Digit Sack Club

Ravens outside linebacker Odafe Oweh is one sack away from entering the double-digit sack club alongside teammate Kyle Van Noy.

With nine sacks, Oweh currently ranks 15th in the league, tied with the 49ers' Nick Bosa and just a half sack behind former college teammate Micah Parsons of the Cowboys.

Oweh's previous career high in sacks was five, which he did last season and as a rookie in 2021.

"It would mean a lot considering where I started," Oweh said. "It would be my first 10-sack season in my life – not just in the league, but since I started playing in high school. I know where I came from and the work I put in. I proved myself right. I can't wait till it happens."

The Ravens picked up Oweh's fifth-year option this past offseason and that's looking like a wise move. Baltimore also inked Kyle Van Noy to a two-year deal and the 33-year-old veteran has responded with a career-high 11.5 sacks.

"It's very inspiring," Oweh said. "You've got to keep stacking, keep getting better every year you're in this thing. KV is a great example of that. He's better this year than he was last year. He just continues to add more life to his career."

Only Two Ravens Finish Atop Fan Pro Bowl Voting

The final tally of Pro Bowl fan voting has been released, and two Ravens sit atop their position groups in the AFC.

Derrick Henry was the top running back and Kyle Hamilton was the top strong safety.

Jackson finished fifth among all quarterbacks and third in the AFC behind Cincinnati's Joe Burrow and Buffalo's Josh Allen. Fan voting counts for one-third of the overall Pro Bowl vote.

Jackson Wins Team MVP; Linderbaum Is Named 'Media Good Guy'

As the MVP debate rages on every sports talk show, local reporters' selection for Ravens MVP was an obvious one.

Jackson won the award for a fourth time, which is the most in franchise history.

"Thank you guys. That means a lot," Jackson said. "My home team – well this is my second home right here – so home team media. I owe this to my teammates and you guys. I appreciate you all a lot, definitely."

Linderbaum, who has routinely made himself available to chat with reporters and shares good insight, was named the "Media Good Guy." Linderbaum and Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic can often be found casually chatting in the locker room, along with other reporters.

"I appreciate the nomination. Thanks for all of the work you guys do, except for you, Jeff," Linderbaum said with a laugh. "No, I'm kidding. I appreciate it – all the coverage you guys do for the team. We appreciate it."
