OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson hasn’t resembled his MVP self this season, and it goes beyond his off-the-mark throws, missing open receivers and locking onto his favorite targets.
The NFL’s best dual threat has become a more one-dimensional quarterback. Jackson is averaging a career-low 8.2 rushing attempts per game after running the ball just twice in Sunday’s 27-3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Last season, Jackson kept drives alive and defenses on their heels when he broke into the open field, unleashing spin moves and jukes for highlight-reel runs.
