As the No. 1 seed Ravens, Lamar Jackson has been in MVP form, leading his team to a prime position for a Super Bowl run. However, Lewan"s “formula" for stopping Jackson has proven elusive for many teams this season.
Jackson"s ability to excel both as a passer and a runner has made him a dual-threat quarterback, posing challenges for opposing defenses.
The Chiefs, on the other hand, faced struggles during the 2023 regular season but have found momentum at the right time. Mahomes and the Chiefs are hitting their stride, showcasing the explosive offense that made them Super Bowl champions.
The AFC Championship matchup promises to be a thrilling contest between two powerhouse teams. Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET in Baltimore, and football fans are eagerly awaiting the outcome of this high-stakes showdown that will determine which team earns the right to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.
