BALTIMORE _ Stop us if you've heard this before, but the Ravens want to have a more balanced offense this season. The NFL's most efficient passing offenses are also the league's most efficient offenses, and with quarterback Lamar Jackson's offseason improvements, the Ravens are preparing to move away from last season's ground-and-pound approach.
But only so far away. Jackson said recently that his ideal run-pass ratio this season would include "probably 30 passes a game," which would have ranked among the NFL's least pass-dependent quarterbacks in 2018. Jackson won't be running 20-plus times a game this season, but he also won't be asked to be Drew Brees.
About the only thing critics and proponents alike can agree on ahead of Jackson's first full season as a starter is that he'll remain a dangerous running threat. And with a 16-game slate starting Sunday, there's a chance it's a record-breaking campaign. Here are eight quarterback records Jackson could threaten this season and one team mark the Ravens might test.
