Narrative that died: The Baltimore Ravens aren’t built to play from behind


John Harbaugh called Lamar Jackson’s performance Monday night one of the greatest he’s ever seen. That’s not hyperbole. Jackson threw for 442 yards and completed 86 percent of his passes against the Indianapolis Colts. No quarterback in NFL history has ever thrown for 400-plus yards and produced a completion percentage that high. Oh, by the way, Jackson also ran for 62 yards.

The Ravens were down 25-9 in the fourth quarter. Then Jackson took over. And suddenly they looked unstoppable. Baltimore scored touchdowns on its final four possessions and somehow escaped with a 31-25 overtime victory.

In the past, the Ravens have been dinged for their inability to play from behind because they were so reliant on their run game. But already this season, they’ve notched come-from-behind wins against the Kansas City Chiefs and Colts. Jackson is completing 67.1 percent of his passes and averaging 9.1 yards per attempt (YPA). He’s eighth in Next Gen Stats’ completion percentage above expectation and fourth in Expected Points Added (EPA) per pass play.

The Ravens can’t always count on comebacks like that, but with Jackson playing like this, they’re as well-equipped as just about any team to play from behind.

Yup I saw that too. Going to be a different matchup than what I thought going into this game. The Ravens are less pound and ground than in the past.

A 500 yard day for a qb. That’s pretty darn special. It’s gonna be a hell of a game. Must watch TV.

They had to adapt. All their Rbs are out for the season and they have a stable of washed up guys and some duct tape. Shows you how strong that coaching staff is.

We are much better defense against the pass than the Colts and the other scrub pass defenses they have faced. The Ravens have been squeaking by bad teams, and we ware going to put a beat down in their crap pass D and win this game handily. We are going to go into the bye at 5-1.

I would be very surprised if Bulaga comes back this season.

[Xenos]

[Xenos]

Hopefully this means nothing for Tranquil.

[equivocation]

I would be very surprised if Bulaga comes back this season.

Me too.

[Xenos]

Me too.

Well, this is something.

[Xenos]

So I feel like Tranquil may miss the Ravens game based on the injury described here. But seems like he could be back after the bye.

[Bolt4Knob]

Well, this is something.

If he is ready at Thanksgiving - give him at least another week off after that.
