The Baltimore Ravens walked away from Thursday Night Football victorious, beating their rival Cincinnati Bengals.
Their defense was strong throughout the game, holding the Bengals to 20 points.
One of the main reasons for this win was the dominant play of Lamar Jackson, who has lately found himself in the MVP conversation.
Jackson was asked about his recent play in a postgame press conference.
According to reporter Sarah Ellison, Jackson said, “I feel like I haven’t hit my ceiling yet, but getting there.”

If Jackson truly has not hit his ceiling, the rest of the league could be in trouble.
Jackson’s calling card throughout his career has been his elite rushing abilities.
He has shown flashes of brilliance in the passing game, but for the most part, is known for athleticism and rushing.
That has slowly changed, as evidenced in this game against the Bengals.
Jackson had the second-most rushing yards of any Ravens player in this contest.
Even though he was a competent rusher in this game, Jackson also displayed his ability to put together a massive game through the air.
Jackson ended the game with 264 passing yards and two touchdowns.
With any luck, he can keep this streak going, perhaps winning another MVP award when the season is completed.
The Ravens seem to be in a great place as an organization, with a strong defense coupled with an increasingly strong offense.
If Jackson can improve upon his performance on Thursday Night Football, they should be a dangerous team heading into the postseason.
