The Baltimore Ravens are sitting at a solid 2-1 as they gear up for their Week 4 showdown against the Tennessee Titans at home, and man, Lamar Jackson is absolutely out there making a statement with his big plays. This dude, an MVP-winning quarterback, is looking to erase the sting of missing the playoffs last year. It is clear that he and new head coach Jesse Minter are locked in on getting this team to the postseason and then some.
Week 3’s Mind-Blowing Performance Against Dallas
Jackson was practically flawless throwing the football in the Ravens’ nail-biting 34-31 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3. He completed 15 of his 20 throws for a slick 186 yards and tossed two touchdowns. Not enough? He tacked on another 50 rushing yards. But the real kicker? When the game was on the line, he needed just six seconds to set Baltimore up for a game-winning, 56-yard field goal, hitting Zay Flowers for a clutch 27-yard gain on that final drive. Those numbers are insane and just scream MVP history.
Jackson’s Early Season Dominance Is Setting the Tone
According to Garrett Podell’s CBS Sports quarterback rankings heading into Week 4, Jackson is sitting pretty at No. 3 overall. Think about that: he is only behind Patrick Mahomes and Brock Purdy, and he is even ranked above Josh Allen, who comes in at No. 4. Beyond the rankings, Jackson’s individual stats are equally impressive, per Podell. He is fourth in the entire league in passer rating with a ridiculous 113.1. He is also third in the league in EPA per dropback, and get this: he leads the NFL in yards per pass attempt at 9.8. This is one heck of an early showing for the quarterback.
This team missed the playoffs last year, and that stung big time. With MVP-winner Jackson and new head coach Jesse Minter, the goal is clear: postseason and beyond. Next up, the Ravens are hosting the Tennessee Titans in Week 4. You know Jackson is gonna bring the heat and keep this momentum rolling.
