Wow.
Could you think of a better ending after going through the pain of last week?
The Ravens looked like the same old Ravens again in the 4th quarter. An untimely DPI on Nate Wiggins (Which should have been either OPI on Ceedee Lamb or an interception by Wiggins) led to the Cowboys being 1st and goal on the 3 yard line.
Yet the Ravens walked off with a 56 yard field goal in the NFLs fastest game winning drive in its history.
Let’s get into the Game Notes.
Offense
Lamar Jackson finished 15/20 for 186 yards and 2 TD, and while his stats may not blow you away, it was his decisiveness and decision making that was a vintage Lamar performance. He added 6 carries for 50 yards, no better than a 3rd and short, where he got blown up on his play action drop back, immediately got up field and got the first down on the ground.
There was no better play than this dot to Zay Flowers that gave him enough time to get down and get Tyler Loop out there for a game winner. Zay Flowers finished this game with 5 catches for 84 yards and he did that on just 21 total plays, 18 of which were dropbacks.
The passing chart shows it was a much shorter game, which makes a ton of sense given the Ravens were missing Ronnie Stanley and were focusing on the middle of the field to play a shorter, more efficient style of football.
Lamar did work in the middle of the field, but had a few under thrown balls deep. That said, he was great executing in the red zone. The touchdown pass to Chris Moore was a beautifully executed step up.
Keep in mind, Lamar Jackson did this while being pressured on 45% of his dropbacks for the third week in a row. He will remain one of the most pressured quarterbacks in football.
