The Baltimore Ravens are in sole possession of the No. 1 seed in the AFC, and they’re in control of their own destiny.
Nonetheless, they have a tough challenge ahead of them next week, as they’ll face the only other 11-3 team in the league.
The Ravens will hit the road for a potential Super Bowl preview vs. the San Francisco 49ers, the undisputed best team in the NFL right now.
However, as superior as the Niners have been this season, Skip Bayless believes Lamar Jackson is currently the only human who could rise above them.
Talking on “Undisputed,” Bayless stated that Jackson seems to be having so much fun on the field, raving about his improvement as a passer and how he’s been calm and poised in the pocket all year long.

Jackson has taken his game to a whole new level under Todd Monken.
While his TD numbers aren’t as impressive as they’ve been in other years, he’s made great strides as a passer behind an offensive line that’s constantly giving him a lot of time to move around the pocket and find the open guy.
We already know that he’s the greatest ever when it comes to scrambling and getting big gains out of a broken play, but those who doubted his accuracy and feel for the game as a passer may want to apologize.
Now, he’ll face his most challenging task of the season yet, and taking down the Niners on their own field would certainly do wonders for his MVP case.
