Deshaun Watson Called Lamar Jackson 'MVP' in Signed Jersey Swap Postgame

The most hyped NFL game of Week 11 was the clash between the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens. More importantly, it was Deshaun Watson vs. Lamar Jackson in a battle of NFL MVP candidates.

As it turns out, Jackson lit up Houston's defense, while Watson put up a dud of a performance in Baltimore's 41-7 blowout victory. Following the game, both quarterbacks met up to participate in the traditional jersey exchange, and Watson wrote a special message on Jackson's gift.

Watson's message read, "To: LJ8. Keep going fam! Always love! 100! MVP."

Just like every viewer watching the matchup of AFC powerhouses, Watson had a front row seat to see just how special Jackson is. The second-year signal caller was stellar on Sunday afternoon, as he completed 17-of-24 pass attempts for 222 yards and four touchdowns, while rushing for 86 yards on just nine carries.

As for Watson, he had a game to forget against a stout Ravens defense. Watson went 18-of-29 for 269 yards and one interception, while getting sacked six times, thanks to his turnstile of an offensive line.

Watson may have fallen out of the MVP race due to the dramatic loss, and rightfully so, but Jackson's dominance on Sunday clearly caught the Clemson product's eye.
