It’s been clear that Lamar Jackson has been enjoying his finest soccer this season. Now he has one other stat to show it.
Jackson set the brand new single-season franchise report for landing passes along with his 37th of the season, breaking his personal report from his 2019 MVP season.
Jackson broke the report with a 7-yard strike to tight finish Mark Andrews within the third quarter. It was his third passing landing within the Ravens’ 34-17 win over the rival Pittsburgh Steelers.
“I assumed Lamar was unbelievable, and that is no little little bit of stress [from the Steelers],” Head Coach John Harbaugh mentioned. “Our guys did a very good job up entrance, however Lamar … He’s beneath stress. This group rushes the passer all the time. They’re going to offer you stress. He stood in there and made some throws. He all the time does.”
The Steelers blitzed on 68% of Jackson’s drop-backs, per TruMedia. That is a wildly excessive quantity, and the best charge the Ravens have seen this season.
“I consider we simply stayed [true] to what we have been preaching all week – only one play at a time it doesn’t matter what within the recreation, simply transfer onto the following play,” Jackson mentioned. “And issues occur all through the sport the place it was like we might begin having that little setback, however we did not let something trouble us – penalties, the little turnover right here and there, and if we obtained stopped. We stored our minds centered on once we obtained one other alternative.”
