THE BALTIMORE RAVENS
Now that’s more like it, Ravens. One week after losing to the Steelers, Baltimore rallied from a 10-0 deficit to top the Chargers,Β 30-23, in a really impressive performance.
For long stretches of the final three quarters, this was the Ravens (8-4) at their best.
Lamar Jackson threw for 177 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a score as well. Jackson now has 22 touchdowns passing and zero interceptions on Monday in his career.
Derrick HenryΒ rumbled his way to 140 yards, andΒ Justice Hill ripped off a 51-yard touchdown run as a finishing touch.
The defense did a nice job and has been improved for the past two weeks; Justin Herbert had no touchdowns passing for just the second time this season.
But what I loved the most is the Ravens going for it on fourth-and-1 on their own 16-yard line late in the first half … and converting. Four plays later, Jackson threw a 46-yard touchdown to Rashod Bateman, and Baltimore never trailed thereafter.Β
No team had converted a fourth down that deep in its own territory in the first half of a game since the 2012 Rams, who did it on a fake punt. I love the aggressiveness. If you believe in your team to get a yard elsewhere on the field, why not believe in it there? Furthermore, if you don’t get it, what’s the worst that can happen? You trail by 10 at halftime instead of three? If that’s a death sentence for your team’s chances to win, you don’t have a very good team anyway.
And big brother still rules:Β John HarbaughΒ improved to 3-0 against Jim.
