PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers proved they are here to stay as an NFL contender this year after their earn against Washington commanders returning from their week off.

Now, the Steelers will begin their conference schedule against Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens, and Jackson looks like he could land another MVP award.

That being said, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is hesitant to compare anyone to Jackson. After the Steelers’ victory over the Commanders, Tomlin was asked about the comparison between Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels and Jackson.

“Man, be real slow about comparing people to Lamar Jackson,” Tomlin said. “He’s a multi-time MVP. He’s Mr. Jackson. We’ll see Mr. Jackson in a few days.

Since entering the league, countless quarterbacks have been compared to Jackson whenever they show the ability to be a dual-threat weapon for a given team. While Daniels appears to be the real deal, currently leading the Offensive Rookie of the Year race, a comparison to Jackson seems quite premature and far-fetched.

Jackson is a two-time MVP award winner and has thrown for 2,669 yards and 24 touchdowns this year. On the ground, Jackson totaled 538 yards and two touchdowns in another dominant year for the quarterback.

The Steelers still have to face him twice this year as they begin their divisional schedule next week against him and the Ravens. That said, historically Jackson had a lot of problems against the Steelers.

The Steelers held Jackson to four touchdowns in four starts against them while also forcing 7 turnovers. In fact, the Steelers are the only team against whom Jackson has currently thrown more interceptions than touchdowns.

Although the Steelers still have a tough matchup against the Ravens, they can take solace in the fact that they have been dominant thus far.
