Last week, a pair of East Coast Super Bowl hopefuls headed to Tinseltown to pick up wins heading into a huge showdown in Week 13. Saquon Barkley turned in an all-timer of a rushing performance in the 37-20 victory of the Eagles at the Rams, as Lamar Jackson threw two touchdown passes and ran for another in the Ravens’ 30-23 win over the Chargers in the “HarBowl” on Monday night.
Now these two high-flying offenses will face off in Baltimore in front of a national audience on CBS, in what could turn into a Super Bowl teaser and go a long way toward determining the 2024 NFL MVP. Barkley put himself firmly in the conversation with his 255-yard performance last week, putting him on pace to break Eric Dickerson’s single-season NFL record. Jackson, the 2023 MVP, is on pace to pass for more than 4,300 yards, rush for nearly 900 yards and throw 38 touchdown passes — all of which would easily eclipse his totals from last year.
Get your popcorn ready.
