Quarterback Lamar Jackson finished with a perfect passer rating, wide receiver Zay Flowers hit paydirt twice and running back Derrick Henry is still King.
The Baltimore Ravens bounced back from a surprising Week 8 loss to the Cleveland Browns by shredding a previously lauded Denver Broncos defense in a 41-10 win in Week 9.
Kyle Hamilton proved disruptive to the Broncos' offensive plans and earned a 90.0-plus PFF overall grade after PFF's first review of the game. Jackson and Flowers topped 90.0, as well.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
Lamar Jackson giving way to his backup is a fairly good indicator that he put forth an elite performance beforehand. Such was the case against the Broncos, as Jackson earned a 95.2 PFF overall grade before Josh Johnson took over midway through the fourth quarter.
Jackson made two big-time throws and no turnover-worthy plays, and two of his three incompletions were drops. If the game grade holds, it would be his highest since Week 10 of his 2019 MVP season.
