Lamar Jackson’s Potential Game-Changing Drive Halts as He Throws Interception to Cousin
In a surprising turn of events at M&T Bank Stadium, Lamar Jackson’s mistakes have cost the Baltimore Ravens significantly. The Ravens were down 17-3 when Jackson threw an interception intended for his cousin, James Pierre, who plays cornerback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. This interception marked a troubling trend for Jackson, who has now thrown four interceptions in the last four games, and has failed to deliver a touchdown pass during this span.
Lamar Jackson’s Struggles
Jackson’s performance during this game was notably below par. He completed just 4 out of 8 passes for a total of 44 yards, averaging only 5.5 yards per attempt. His quarterback rating plummeted to 27.1, a stark contrast to his usual performance levels.
Comparative Performances
While Jackson struggled, Aaron Rodgers had a much more fruitful game. Here are the key statistics from both quarterbacks:
| Quarterback | Completions/Attempts | Yards | Touchdowns | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lamar Jackson | 4/8 | 44 | 0 | 27.1 |
| Aaron Rodgers | 13/18 | 148 | 2 | 87.1 |
Impact on the Ravens
The interception by Jackson not only halted a promising drive but also raised concerns about his current form. Fans are eager to see improvements as the season progresses. The Ravens must address these issues if they hope to remain competitive.
As Jackson reevaluates his approach, the team will need to rally together and find ways to capitalize on their scoring opportunities in future games. The upcoming weeks will be crucial for both Jackson and the Ravens as they strive to overcome this challenging stretch.
