Admittedly it's a small sample size, but early indications are
that Lamar Jackson may be having a year even better than his
MVP season of 2019.
Indeed, the Baltimore Ravens quarterback is once again
showing opposing defenses no mercy. Through the season's
first three games, the fifth year signal caller is leading the
NFL in passer rating with 119, connecting on 56 of 88 passes
(a 63.6 completion percentage) for 749 yards and a league-
leading 10 touchdowns against only two interceptions.
And as a runner, he's arguably been even better, tied for
fifth in the league in rushing yards with 243 on only 26
carries for an astounding 9.3 yards per carry. He also has two
touchdowns on the ground, giving him 12 total. All-Pro stats,
indeed.
But beyond the numbers,
he's made improvements to
his game that don't appear
on paper. He's gotten
better at making on-the-fly
adjustments when opposing
teams blitz and he's shown
an ability to dominate when
throwing from the pocket,
two supposed weaknesses.
Jackson and the Ravens
can be seen in action on the
road against the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers on Thursday,
Oct. 27, in a game streaming
on Prime Video.
By air and by land, Jackson
