PLAYER OF THE GAME

It was a magical night for Lamar Jackson, who earned a stellar 92.4 PFF grade in the Ravens' dominant victory. Jackson didn’t need to air it out often, finishing 10-of-15 for 168 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. His efficiency stood out, as he recorded three big-time throws, avoided any turnover-worthy plays, and saw eight of his completions result in either a first down or touchdown.

Jackson was as electrifying as ever as a runner. He turned just four carries into 87 yards, forced a missed tackle and broke off two runs of 10 or more yards, underscoring his dynamic ability to impact the game in multiple ways.
