The Baltimore Ravens are facing their biggest test of the year, taking on the currently undefeated New England Patriots and their dominant defense. While the Ravens are coming off a bye and are at home, that doesn’t change the fact that they’re facing the Patriots, who have once again been amazing this entire season.
But on their first drive of the night, the Ravens moved the football with ease on that defense. Quarterback Lamar Jackson put the Ravens on the board with a three-yard touchdown run to put the Ravens up 7-0. It finished off an 11-play, 75-yard drive that saw the offense throw the football and run it with power and efficiency.
One the touchdown, Jackson ran to the outside and seeing no one capable of making a play, he showboated a little bit for the final few yards. That’s typically something you wouldn’t want to do to New England to give them a little extra motivation but with the type of criticism Jackson has faced this season for running the ball, finding the end zone here had to feel good.
