After endless pre-draft calls to convert Lamar Jackson to wide receiver or running back, shutting down critics has been a main storyline for the quarterback's MVP-caliber season.

Jackson and Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young have both enjoyed incredible offensive output this year, prompting criticism of their play styles to disappear. Jackson himself acknowledged shutting down his critics in response to a tweet from Young.

The Baltimore Ravens' quarterback posted a perfect passer rating against the Cincinnati Bengals this week, the second time he has accomplished the feat this season. Dak Prescott, Deshaun Watson and Aaron Rodgers are the only other QBs to hit the mark this season. Jackson is the only one to do it twice. 

Jackson's incredible performance against the Bengals earned him his third AFC Offensive Player of the Week award, the only player in the NFL to win three Player of the Week awards.

Jackson has proved all kinds of critics wrong this season, including Colin Cowherd and Bill Polian.

He will look to continue proving himself in a Week 11 offensive showdown against Watson and the Houston Texans.

The Baltimore Ravens (10-2) are heading north to take on the Buffalo Bills (9-3) in a Week 14 AFC Showdown that will likely have the energy of a playoff game.

The Ravens are coming off a buzzer-beater 20-17 win against the San Francisco 49ers that pushed their win streak to a franchise-record eight games. Leading the way for the Ravens is Lamar Jackson, who has cemented his MVP candidacy during a season in which he has taken the league by storm.

The Bills are coming off three wins of their own, most recently a 26-15 stomping of the Dallas Cowboys. Despite the impressive 9-3 record, the Bills' only win against a .500 or better team came on Thanksgiving Day against the then 6-5 Cowboys.

Bill Belichick has seen a lot of football. A lot.

The New England Patriots head coach certainly knows what he's talking about and he didn't hold back when talking about Baltimore Ravens legend Ed Reed.

On a segment for NFL 100, Reed and Belichick recalled one of the former safety's interception against Manning, a play that Belichick called "one of the greatest plays I've ever seen."

Just listen to how giddy Belichick got talking about the play. 

Reed said he purposefully misplayed a certain coverage so that when Manning watched the film to prepare for the next game, Reed could fake him out the next time.

Manning became an all-time great because of his cerebral approach to football, so it's no hyperbole to say more men have walked on the moon than have outsmarted Peyton Manning on the gridiron. Reed is one of the few players to do so and became a Hall of Famer for playing that way his whole career.

Reed knew the entire time where the ball was going and made Manning look foolish for making that throw.

That's the stuff of legends.
