BALTIMORE — Lamar Jackson ran around the Jets, through the Jets, threw in between and over Jets and strengthened his case for the NFL MVP award in a brilliant performance in prime time.
The Jets looked like extras in the Lamar Jackson Show. They were the Washington Generals to his Harlem Globetrotters, and the Jets fell to Jackson’s Ravens 42-21 on Thursday night at M&T Bank Stadium.
Gang Green came into this game as heavy underdogs and they looked the part for most of the night. There was a brief glimmer of hope in the second quarter that the Jets could make this a game, but that disappeared with two missed opportunities at the end of the first half and two Sam Darnold turnovers.
