John Harbaugh guarantees Lamar Jackson after ugly win
The Baltimore Ravens beat the New York Jets 23-10 on Sunday, moved to 6-5 on the season. Despite recording their fifth straight win, there is still trepidation around the team, especially the offense. They finished with less than 200 team passing yards for the seventh straight week. But the head coach of the Ravens John Harbaugh expressed full confidence in Lamar Jacksonper ESPN’s Jamison Hensley.
“John Harbaugh said he has ‘total confidence’ in Lamar Jackson. He’s gone three straight games without passing for 200 yards. Harbaugh said he’s proud of Jackson’s ‘fight,'” Hensley reported.
Athlete Džef Zrebić reported“Harbaugh defends Lamar Jackson, admitting it wasn’t pretty, but Jackson plays winning football. And the big games will be down there.”
The Ravens were crushed in many of the games Jackson missed early in the season. But they started the winning streak with Tyler Huntley under centerand continued to work with Jackson back in action. But the offense hasn’t been the reason for many of those wins so far.
The Ravens scored just three points on four drives in the first half against a Jets defense short on talent. Even after trading Quinnen Williams and Sosa Gardner, New York stifled Jackson early. Finding Zai Flowers helped open up the field for Jackson, and Derrick Henry finally kicked a goal-line touchdown. The Ravens overcame a problem in this game, but they’re running out of time to put it all together.
The Ravens have a short week coming up with the Cincinnati Bengals on deck on Thanksgiving. They are now tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers atop the AFC North thanks to the winning streak. But better play from their quarterback is necessary to instill Super Bowl hopes in Charm City fans. Could Thanksgiving be the start of that run?
