To get a win without an MVP performance is still a good thing.
Jackson is running the ball less frequently than in any season in his career, and he has missed three games (hamstring), plus one practice in each of the last two weeks (knee/ankle). The season has taken a toll, but Jackson doesn't like excuses.
He refused to say that injuries are holding him back.
"I'm out there, so I feel like I should be able to do what I do," Jackson said.
How did his ankle feel?
"For the most part, it was pretty solid," Jackson said.
Does he believe injuries are holding him back?
"No, I don't think that at all," Jackson said. "I feel like we need to execute a lot better."
Harbaugh said he will always have the "utmost confidence" in Jackson and that he's proud of Jackson for "fighting to win football games." He's confident that more "pretty" games are in Jackson's future.
The Ravens' opponents are hoping that Harbaugh is wrong. Because even without Jackson being spectacular, the Ravens are surging.
