The Ravens are champions of the AFC North and the No. 1 seed in the conference after dismantling the Miami Dolphins, 56-19 on Sunday afternoon.
In a scene that can only be dominant and brutal, Lamar Jackson was near perfect on the afternoon, likely wrapping up his second MVP award since 2019.
With preparation for the finale against Pittsburgh starting to begin, we’re looking at the national reaction to this win.

The 56 points are the most Ravens have scored at M&T Bank Stadium.
It's the second-most in franchise history. Ravens scored 59 points in 2019 — also against the Dolphins.

Why is @Ravens head coach John Harbaugh never mentioned as Coach Of The Year??? Just because we expect his teams to win shouldn’t hurt him year after year in at least being in the convo. At least put the dude in the convo!
