“I don’t know what it is, man,” said Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson while talking about his average performance against their divisional rivals Pittsburgh Steelers. Another showdown of the rivalry will take place on November 17. Both teams are fighting for the top spot. The Ravens have a 7-3 win-loss record and are in the 2nd position in the AFC North while the Steelers occupy the top spot with a 7-2. It’s battle time now.

Steelers are the only team against which he has fewer touchdowns (4) than interceptions (7). It’s twisted. He has played only 4 games against them while missing 6 games because of injury. However, the Ravens are confident ahead of their matchup. They believe that they have found the 3 areas in which the signal caller faltered.

Lamar Jackson’s second most interceptions are against the Steelers (7) after Browns (8). This year he has scored 24 touchdowns in 10 games and has only 2 interceptions. That’s impressive. Another problematic area was pressure, as the Steelers recorded 20 sacks against him in 4 games. But this year, the Ravens QB only has 13 sacks in 10 games, the lowest among QBs with 8 or more starts. There would be a direct threat from LB TJ Watt who has 7.5 sacks with 14 hits.

The last is his passing in the pocket. This year, he has been at his career-best 71.5% pass completion inside pocket, which is much better than the 59.2% rate against the Steelers. HC John Harbaugh has belief in his quarterback and claimed that they have made the changes to get the victory in the crunch moments.

The team is confident of a win. But they have been given a hard blow by the league.

Lamar Jackson’s confidence is high, but the Ravens got punished

They didn’t think that their intense 35-34 win against the Bengals would cost them money. Here’s what happened. Marlon Humphrey, the Ravens CB was fined $22,511 for the 3rd quarter foul, and $11,255 for the 4th quarter mistake, totaling $33,766. Here’s how events unfolded.

During the 3rd quarter of the Bengals game, the Ravens CB used his helmet during a tackle that the referee didn’t call. But in the 4th quarter, the officials did call him for face masking. As per the standard procedure, the league has reviewed the infractions and fined him. The double punishment would remind him of playing the game with sportsmanship. Lamar Jackson would be watching the development.

Fans are eagerly waiting for the SNF game. Since both teams have 7 wins each, the Ravens would be eager to win the game. Fans are excited.
