PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers showed they were here to stay among the NFL contenders this year after their gain against Washington commanders coming out of their week off.

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

That said, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is hesitant to compare anyone to Jackson. After the Steelers’ win against 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. “That’s a multi-time MVP. That’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 race for Offensive Rookie of the Year, 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 on the year. On the ground, Jackson has 538 yards and two touchdowns in another dominant year for the quarterback.

The Steelers still have to face him twice this year when they begin their divisional schedule next week against him and the Ravens. That said, historically jackson He has had quite a few problems against the Steelers.

The Steelers have limited 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.

While the Steelers still have a tough matchup against the Ravens, they can take solace in the fact that they have been dominant to this point.
