Lamar Jackson's Unstoppable Streak: The Dual-Threat QB Leading Ravens to Super Bowl Contention
  • As the Baltimore Ravens position themselves as Super Bowl contenders, Lamar Jackson stands out as one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the league.

  • Jackson boasts an impressive 22-1 record against NFC teams, marking the best interconference record for any starting quarterback since 1970.

  • His dominance against NFC opponents includes winning 10 consecutive games, during which he has completed 69.2% of his passes, throwing 14 touchdowns and only three interceptions.

  • This impressive streak was briefly interrupted by a loss to the New York Giants, which was attributed to uncharacteristic turnovers.

  • Jackson's performance under pressure is particularly notable; in a game against the 49ers, he completed 10 of 12 passes for 132 yards and a touchdown while facing duress.

  • Defensive coordinators find it challenging to prepare for Jackson's dual-threat capability, often resorting to using scout team players to mimic his speed.

  • His improvisation skills were on display in a previous game against the Arizona Cardinals, where he threw a touchdown pass while off-balance.

  • In a recent game against the Dallas Cowboys, Jackson executed a deceptive play by faking a handoff to Zay Flowers, which confused the defense and allowed him to run effectively.

  • Jackson led the Ravens to a narrow 28-25 victory over the Cowboys, securing a crucial first down with a 10-yard run.

  • He possesses a unique ability to extend plays, making it difficult for defenses to maintain coverage on his receivers.

  • Notably, Jackson's average time before throwing a pass is three seconds, the longest for any AFC quarterback since he entered the league.

  • Ravens coach John Harbaugh acknowledged being fooled by Jackson's play, further highlighting the quarterback's skill in deceiving defenses.
