NFL Insiders Question Lamar Jackson as Ravens Slip to 6–7

Anonymous NFL voices told The Athletic that Jackson no longer shows his trademark burst.

Overview

  • Baltimore has fallen to 6-7 after back-to-back AFC North losses, sitting outside the AFC playoff field.
  • Executives and coaches quoted by The Athletic said Jackson "doesn't look the same" and is "not as explosive" as in past seasons.
  • Jackson has not recorded a single 20-plus-yard run this year, a first for any season of his career, reflecting a sharp drop in big-play impact.
  • Over his last five starts, he has completed under 60 percent of his passes with three total touchdowns and six turnovers.
  • He missed three games with a hamstring injury and has dealt with ankle, toe and knee issues, with the Ravens closing against the Bengals, Patriots, Packers and Steelers.
