Lamar Jackson will make his AFC Championship Game debut on Sunday when he and the Baltimore Ravens host the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Ravens have been touted as the Super Bowl favorites almost the entire year and their road to Super Bowl LVIII will go through the reigning champions in the Chiefs.
Baltimore has all the talent to keep pace with Kansas City and Jackson is the difference between the two teams as he is playing at an MVP level.
Jackson has never looked more comfortable playing quarterback as he’s got legitimate weapons in the passing game but remains a threat to run the football himself.
No one doubts how great Jackson is, but now it’s time for him to prove to the NFL that he belongs in the elite tier of quarterbacks.
Given what’s at stake, Chase Daniel believes that Jackson’s legacy is on the line this weekend via NFL Total Access.
“This is 100% a Lamar Jackson legacy game,” Daniel said.

Daniel points out that Jackson is 2-3 in the playoffs and has the same number of losses that Patrick Mahomes does despite the latter playing 16 total postseason games.
Mahomes is the consensus when it comes to the best quarterback in the league, but if Jackson can beat him then it would instantly give him more of an argument.
Beating Mahomes in the playoffs is no easy task as he is the most dangerous player when the game’s on the line, but Jackson has the best team he’s been on since entering the NFL and needs to deliver on his promise of a title.
