The Baltimore Ravens experienced their first defeat of the season on Sunday. Lamar Jackson and Co were toe-to-toe till the end against the Josh Allen-led side, but a fourth-quarter blunder made all the difference. There was an opportunity to make a field goal, score points, and get back into the game, but instead, they chose to continue the play, which cost them a precious game point.

All the past three games of Lamar Jackson of the 2022 season were high-scoring games. Moreover, his ability to rush down the field and pass the ball to his formidable weapons triggered their mobility. But the trend didn’t work out this week.

Until the fourth quarter Ravens and the Bills were tied at 20 and Jackson elected to go for a fourth-and-goal from the 2-yard line. There was a great option for a field goal, but Jackson was confident about his gameplay and opted to continue the game.

There were more than four minutes left on the clock while making the snap; however, Jackson’s crazy interception at the end zone backfired and aided the Bills to start from their side. Moreover, Jackson was unable to find an open space or an athlete to execute the play because the Bills’ defense was much mightier than ever.

“Tall defensive lineman with his hands up,” Jackson said of his view on the fourth-down play. “I was trying to see around him to see where my guys were, but I saw Duvernay late. If I would have seen him right off the bat, that would have been a touchdown.”

“So, I couldn’t really see what was going on, and the play was breaking down.” he added to his explanation. Meanwhile, Jackson also revealed that he was unable to cover the entire stadium. He tried getting back on track, but it was too late.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh was revealed to have made the call for Lamar Jackson

With this loss, the Ravens have joined other low-scoring teams in the final rankings. It was an unexpected result, especially Jackson dragging it to the last minute.

Moreover, head coach John Harbaugh revealed that it was his call to go for it rather than trying a field goal. “If we had executed on third down, there wouldn’t have even been that question. Nobody would be disappointed,” Jackson said in his press conference. “Next time we’ll get it,” he added.

The Bengals, Giants, and the Browns are next on the line for Lamar Jackson in the upcoming weeks. Although this week’s loss was the consequence of a blunder, it will be interesting to see how Jackson gets back on track.
