Texans QB Deshaun Watson Calls Ravens' Lamar Jackson 'MVP' During Jersey Swap

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Sunday's game brought even more hype to Lamar Jackson as a possible MVP pick- including from his opponent of the day: Deshaun Watson.

The Houston Texans quarterback handed Jackson his jersey with a message written on it, "Always love, keep grinding and MVP."

Jackson had four touchdowns and finished the day with 222 yards passing, a 139.2 quarterback rating and 86 yards rushing, according to the Ravens.

His teammate Mark Ingram agrees with Watson and many others, saying Jackson is the pick.

"I would like to introduce ya'll to the man, the myth, the legend, the MVP front-runner," Ingram said at the end of his podium session. "If anybody else got something different to say about that, then come see me. I'm right here in B'more outside The Bank."

The Ravens are now 8-2, with a six-game winning streak going.
