Every time the Baltimore Ravens show a new flaw or lose another player to injury, it seems as if Lamar Jackson starts playing even better.
Jackson has been just what the Ravens needed so far this season, and never more so than Monday night against Indianapolis when he threw for a franchise-record 442 yards and four touchdowns in a 31-25 overtime win. The Ravens were finally held under 100 yards rushing, and the receiving group lost Sammy Watkins to a hamstring injury. Baltimore needed Jackson to play like an MVP, and he did.
“He’s always growing. He’s always getting better,” tight end Mark Andrews said.
