The Baltimore Ravens are playing the Kansas City Chiefs at home in the AFC Championship game. It is a game headlined by two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. The Chiefs’ superstar QB, Patrick Mahomes, has been phenomenal in the playoffs. However, the best signal-caller this season has been the Ravens’ electrifying superstar, Lamar Jackson.

The championship game will come down to which quarterback makes the most plays in the game. Both these QBs are talented enough to make magic happen out of nothing. Mahomes has shown his ability in the past. However, this game is touted as Jackson’s legacy game and the one-time MVP came up with an incredible play late in the second quarter to give his team a crucial first down.

Against the Chiefs in the AFC championship game, Jackson had an incredible highlight. He hit a pass that was batted at the line of scrimmage and shot high into the air during the second quarter. Jackson made the catch and gained 13 yards because his instincts took over and he ran ahead. It was a fantastic catch in traffic as a few Chiefs players surrounded him.

In the first quarter, he performed admirably in his typical role, buying time for Zay Flowers to be found for a touchdown. In the first half, Mahomes was even more effective as the Chiefs led 17–7. Jackson had never caught a pass in an NFL game, but he is capable of almost anything on the football pitch. In the AFC championship game, he had one of his better receptions to date.

The Baltimore Ravens’ quarterback, Lamar Jackson has performed a lot of brilliant feats in the NFL throughout his career. However, the former NFL MVP never had a reception before, until today. He achieved that feat before the end of the second quarter as he caught his won pass which was tipped away at the line of scrimmage.

Jackson spectacularly caught the ball and turned it into a 13-yard gain. Although the drive did not amount to anything, the play itself was a brilliant display of athleticism from one of the league’s best players. Fans on social media loved the play and were quick to call it one of the playoffs’ greatest plays. Here are some of the reactions to the play.

The Ravens are currently trailing by 10 points after the end of the first half. They came into the game as favorites but have been rocked by a fiery Chiefs side led by Patrick Mahomes. Jackson and the Ravens will hope to come back stronger in the second half.
