The Facts: Jackson was named the Offensive Rookie of the Month for December after putting the finishing touches on an AFC North title run.
Diehards Line:
Jackson didn't put up staggering numbers through the air, averaging only 157.2 yards, but his 73.2 yards per game on the ground solidified a dynamic attack that kept defenses guessing. In Week 14, Jackson gave Kansas City a scare on its home turf in what was his only loss as the starter, but proceeded to make big throws during the Ravens' biggest win over the Los Angeles Chargers on the road in Week 16. Jackson totaled four touchdowns through the air and three on the ground to help lift the Ravens down the stretch toward a division championship. Having now saved the Ravens' season after a 4-5 start before he took the helm under center, Jackson has revitalized Baltimore. A day before his 22nd birthday, Jackson will become the youngest QB ever to start a playoff game.
