After seeing the Ravens take the field with their new helmets, fans went wild with reactions on social media.
"The Ravens have sick uniforms, and somebody decided it was worth wearing these things," one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Always thought the Ravens were one of the only teams that used purple well using it as a small accent to the more prominent white and black. These are absolutely hideous," another user added.
Media Pundit Declares Lamar Jackson MVP
The catalyst for this Ravens season has been the play of their starting quarterback Lamar Jackson. Coming into Baltimore's matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals he has accrued 2,379 yards, 20 touchdowns, and just 2 interceptions. He is also on pace to have the highest completion percentage of his career.
Some believe that Jackson's elite play could earn this year's NFL MVP award. He does have some stiff competition. Patrick Mahomes has led the Kansas City Chiefs to a 8-0 start. And Josh Allen has the Buffalo Bills sitting atop the AFC East. However, Jonas Schaffer of the Baltimore Banner believes Jackson is the clear winner already.
"There can be no debate on either side of the aisle this season: No one in football is playing better. Jackson's weekly mastery has a softening effect on his true masterpieces, dimming their brilliance and relegating them to just another snippet in his ever-growing highlight reel, but his performance Sunday stood out, even for him," Schaffer wrote.
"Against a Broncos defense that had led the NFL in yards per play allowed entering Week 9, Jackson went 16-for-19 for 280 yards and three touchdowns. His perfect passer rating (158.3) was the fourth of his NFL career, tying Ben Roethlisberger for the most in league history. That Jackson did it all after a limited week of practice was all the more remarkable."
Right now Jackson has the best odds to win the NFL MVP along with Josh Allen. If he can secure the MVP award it would put him on a short list of players to win three or more MVPs in their career. Along with Jim Brown Johnny Unitas, Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers.
