Jackson had his way against a Dolphins defense that entered Week 17 boasting a 20.9 points per game allowed average. Jackson anchored an astounding seven scoring drives in the contest, and he recorded five touchdown passes for the fourth time in his career.
Three out of Jackson’s five touchdown passes on the day came in the first half, including one that culminated in Isaiah Likely scoring a 35-yard touchdown.
Jackson finished with 321 passing yards, five touchdown passes, and a 158.3 passer rating against the Dolphins. According to StatMuse, Jackson became the eighth quarterback in NFL history to log at least five passing touchdowns and a 130.0 passer rating in four different contests. Former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees sits atop this leaderboard with 11 such games.
Jackson sure has clinched his second NFL MVP award win and in the big picture, Baltimore secured both the AFC North title and the No. 1 seed in the AFC thanks to its victory over Miami.
