The circumstances were plenty similar. Baltimore, the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Jackson, on the verge of being named the league’s MVP.

Jackson, now 27, made sure Baltimore did not suffer a similar fate this time.

Even head coach John Harbaugh referenced “locked in” to describe Jackson’s performance during his postgame news conference Saturday.

Jackson has indeed been letting his teammates know that the goal is much bigger than winning one playoff game.

As Jackson said of the 2019 playoffs loss: “You’re 22 years old. You still have so much more to see.”
