The Baltimore Ravens have cruised to a 35-14 victory over the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, with quarterback Lamar Jackson leading the charge. Jackson’s stellar performance raised Head Coach John Harbaugh’s career record to 14-3 in games immediately following Baltimore’s bye.
Behind Jackson’s five touchdown passes, the Ravens dominated the game, with their offense looking more explosive than ever. Wide receiver Rashod Bateman had a breakout game, scoring his first two touchdowns of the season, and tight end Mark Andrews became the franchise’s all-time leader in touchdowns.
The Ravens’ defense has been making adjustments that are paying off, with Ar’Darius Washington’s second interception of the season helping to solidify a secondary that was struggling. The team is now peaking at the right time, with their sights set on the division title and potentially reaching the Super Bowl.
However, the Ravens have a major challenge ahead of them in Week 16, as they face archrival Pittsburgh Steelers at home. Lamar Jackson is determined to use his legs and running backs Derrick Henry and Justice Hill to dominate against the Steelers, who have limited him to just 5.4 yards per rushing attempt in the past.
The Ravens are also working on avoiding penalties, which have been a problem for them this season. With the division title still up in the air, Baltimore needs to do better job of avoiding flags to make a deep playoff run.
