Letās rewind back to Week 1 of the 2018 NFL Season to talk about 2 guys who are now MVP Candidates yet again!
Does anybody remember the Nathan Peterman experiment in Buffalo? As a Bills fan, I absolutely do. It was a rough 2-week stretch where he threw 7 interceptions. Of course, there was that infamous Week 2 game against the Chargers where he threw 5 in one game, but before that, there was the Week 1 matchup against the Ravens.
That week one matchup started as Joe Flacco vs Nathan Peterman in Baltimore! We were just 4 minutes into the second half and the Ravens were up 40-0! FORTY TO ZERO! May have been the greatest 40-point deficit of all time because after that, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson both got their NFL debutā¦and it was against each other!
They came in because the game was already over, and both played some UGLYYY BALL! Josh had a 40% completion percentage and a 56,0 QB Rating, and Lamar Jackson had a 25% completion percentage and a 52.1 QB Rating!
Well, 6 years later and those two are 1A and 1B in the MVP conversation and they are facing off in what is one of the most anticipated Divisional Round games in forever! The latest chapter gets written on Sunday, but this started on a rainy September day in 2018! Weāre in for a treat!
