James Urban stood behind Lamar Jackson after the best game of his young career and heard the three little words every quarterbacks coach dreams of.
“Perfect quarterback rating,” Ravens spokesman Kevin Byrne announced in the team’s locker room after a 59-10 blowout of the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. It was the first in Ravens history. In just his eighth start, Jackson had gone 17-for-20 for 324 yards and five touchdowns.
“He could play another 20 years and never be at home [in South Florida] ... and have a day like that in front of friends and family, perfect quarterback rating, all those things,” Urban recalled Tuesday.
