Still, after a performance like Sunday’s, it’s impossible to overlook the team’s current flaws and wonder frankly if it’s good enough to go on the late-season runs that we saw in 2019 and 2020.
It starts up front, where the run and pass blocking have been spotty at best, and that was before the Ravens lost Patrick Mekari, a revelation at right tackle this season, to a foot injury early Sunday. Through seven games, Jackson has been sacked 21 times. That’s two more through seven games last year and four more through the same span in 2019.
