The Ravens executed a perfect game plan just six days after completing a frantic comeback on national television, received their best defensive performance of the season against a legitimate foe, and don't look to be slowing down any time soon.
They allowed just two drives of longer than 30 yards, and none in the second or third quarters. Safety DeShon Elliott got his first career interception on a crucial second-quarter drive. Outside linebacker Justin Houston notched sack No. And the Ravens held the Chargers, one of the NFL's best late-down offenses, to just 3-for on third down and 1-for-4 on fourth down.
Total Ravens victory. BaldysBreakdowns pic. The run game was pretty much eliminated by the Ravens front, and the corners and secondary put out a great performance. Keenan Allen did not get targeted from in the first quarter until in the fourth quarter. That is more than a full half without a target. Just weird. While this game featured mismatches on offense and defense, the most glaring may have been special teams, according to Shaffer. Chargers kicker Tristan Vizcaino, meanwhile, missed another extra-point attempt, and their kickoff returners rarely got far.
Ravens special teams vs. Chargers special teams might be the biggest mismatch in the NFL this season. The biggest difference in this game will come down to special teams. Prior to today, the Ravens were the No. They place No. Duvernay's play against the Chargers will improve that number, as he added a yard kick return to open the second half.
Defense couldn't stop the run. Offense looked out of rhythm all afternoon. Big returns allowed, missed kick for special teams.
LAC heading into bye week with work to be done. The Ravens got to with a ton of room for likely improvement from run game and defense. They could be scary. With Duvernay's big return on Sunday, some are recognizing his impact on not only yesterday's game, but the whole season, including Russell Street Report's Darin McCann, who thinks Duvernay "might be the best returner in football.
Might have to cut up some of their returns becuase they do a DAMN good job! The Ravens had the worst August imaginable, and here they are. Never betting against Lamar Jackson again. Jackson is a superstar MVP quarterback with plenty of room to get better. Jackson was a divisive prospect entering the NFL Draft. But some notable analysts still thought Jackson lacked the skill set of a professional quarterback. His mom, Felicia Jones, had heard this argument since Jackson was a child.
As colleges tried to convince the Boynton Beach High School standout to attend their school, Jones made a firm ultimatum: Jackson would only go to a team willing to commit to him as a quarterback and not use him anywhere else on the field. Jackson getting the chance to line up under center in the NFL was the ultimate validation of their resolve. With their nonprofit Level 82 Fund already offering after-school programs, the couple were looking for something that would benefit the entire community.
