Baltimore to sit MVP favorite Jackson vs. Steelers

Just like in 2019, the Baltimore Ravens will rest the league’s MVP favorite, Lamar Jackson, in the regular campaign finale.

The #Ravens will rest Lamar Jackson for Saturday’s game vs. the Steelers. Tyler Huntley will start.

This means that Lamar will have almost 3 weeks rest before playing in the AFC divisional round.

The Baltimore manager, John Harbaugh, shared today that his quarterback would not appear on the field on Saturday vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers, a match that has no playoff ramifications for the franchise.

The organization clinched the AFC’s top seed and a 1^st round bye last week, but Pittsburgh must triumph given that they still have a small chance to make it to the playoffs with a victory.

Tyler Huntley will replace Lamar Jackson for the Ravens, which will host a divisional round match on January 20^th or 21^st.

Baltimore did the same thing in 2019 when they clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC before the final match of the regular campaign.
