Ravens QB Jackson Hopes To Rely More On Passing Vs Raiders
ALTIMORE (AP) — Understanding that 27 carries a game is way too dangerous for an NFL quarterback, Lamar Jackson may do things differently in his second NFL start Sunday.
Playing in place of the injured Joe Flacco last week, the former Louisville star slithered, juked and bulled his way for 117 yards rushing to lead the Baltimore Ravens past the Cincinnati Bengals 24-21.
"I didn't know about it until after the game," Jackson said. "I was like, 'I ran 27 times?' I was shocked myself. So, I was like, 'Dang, maybe I do have to get down.'"
Or perhaps the rookie will decide that passing might be the way to go when the Ravens (5-5) face the Oakland Raiders (2-8).
