That was a horrendous throw from Jackson.

If the Titans produce a TD on this drive it will be very difficult for Baltimore to come back as they are not really built for playing against large deficits.

Well described on sky, by the entertaining baldy, the pictures went for a few minutes, Baltimore off to a poor start

Baltimore have a huge tendency to abandon the run as soon as they go down by a couple of scores.

It’ll be interesting to see if they do the same now and end up with Jackson throwing 50+ times or if they’ll stick with the run.

2 TD’s from 9 red zone trips for Baltimore so far in these 3 games against the Titans now.

Lots of familiar scenarios repeating themselves.

The ravens won’t be winning if they have to settle for FGs.

That helps.

That's my QB xx

Awesome from Jackson!

The Big Easy

That was sweet!

Titans should just play to contain Jackson in the pocket and let him throw. He's very effective once he gets running but below average in general QB play. Limit his chances to run and they'll increase their chances exponentially

Agree.

Ideally a pre HT and post HT scoe here now

What a kick in the balls it must be as a defense to be doing so well against the run and then Jackson just goes for 50 on a scamble.

Is that 3 x 3 and outs in a row for the Titans now? They've been making zero ground since the TD

I dont know why they're playing their safeties so deep. Jackson offers almost no threat on a long ball. Keep one up on the line to keep him in the pocket and pressure his throws.

Those last two plays from the ravens were very poor. A shovel pass was clearly not the play and it showed and the Titans showed how to contain Lamar Jackson.

Offensive line can't do much more than that for Jackson.

That is how basically every team plays them but it is far easier said than done.

Titans have actually been doing a decent job of it for most of the game, Jackson only needs one gap and he is gone.

Didn't play him like that on that down. The Man tasked with containing him was 25yards behind the line of scrimmage when he should have been no more than 10. Once the gap appeared there was nothing to stop him

The main reason for that, IMO, is his lack of outside threats (none) as opposed to a lack of talent on Jackson’s part. He can only do so much.

Whatever happens tonight, the Ravens should spend every penny they can in the off-season on putting together a competent set of WR’s.

It’s been the same downfall with them for a long time now.

Disagree. It looked very much like 51 was on Jackson - 6 yards off the line of scrimmage. He made a mistake and believed Jackson was contained and took the RB when he came out late. He still nearly made the tackle on Jackson if it wasn't for his change of direction and the block by the RB.

Even if a team has someone with no other responsibility than simply spying Jackson there are very few guys who Jackson won't beat at some point athletically.

Missed FG by Justin tucker. It looked like his left leg kind of slipped. That all state ad is bizarre and when the “astronauts” are flying over the crater the words “do not attempt” appear on the screen. Ffs that’s bad when a company needs to put that on the screen.

Think that punt is a really bad decision. (As is not running Henry on either 2nd or 3rd down)

In fairness, Hollywood Brown means business tonight and is blossoming into a decent option, particularly post-Covid.

May not be at the level of Diggs or Hopkins yet, but I'd be looking at bringing in a companion for Brown, not a replacment.
