Ravens Win Streak Masks Lamar Jackson's Protection Woes
21 Nov
Summary
- Lamar Jackson has been sacked 23 times in seven games this season.
- This sack rate is on pace to match last season's total in fewer games.
- The Ravens aim to improve offensive line protection for their star quarterback.
The Baltimore Ravens have achieved a .500 record, fueled by a recent four-game winning streak that has coincided with Lamar Jackson's return. Despite these victories, the team faces challenges protecting their star quarterback. Jackson has already been sacked 23 times in seven games this season, a pace that matches his total from all 17 games last year.
This alarming sack rate, with Jackson hitting the turf three or more times in four games, indicates struggles for the offensive line. While the team secured wins in the past two games, including one where Myles Garrett recorded 4.0 sacks against Baltimore, the need to fix protection is paramount.
As the Ravens aim to solidify their playoff chances, improving the offensive line's performance is a top priority. Ensuring Lamar Jackson remains upright will be crucial for extending their winning streak and making a strong postseason push.
