Lamar didn’t use any excuses for his form after returning.

The Baltimore Ravens have gone from beginning the campaign 1-5 to a 1st-place tie in the AFC North despite QB Lamar Jackson not playing at his best level.

After today’s 23-10 victory against the NY Jets, the Ravens quarterback claimed knee and ankle problems haven’t affected his play, despite the fact that he is mired in 1 of the biggest slumps of his decorated 8-year career.

“I believe that we must play a lot better,” shared Lamar, who finished today with 12-of-23 passing for 153 yards. “Our team is in a great position on the field on a lot of occasions, but we are failing to score points. That has nothing to do with my problems that kept me sidelined.”

Lamar has been held under 200 yards passing for 3 consecutive matches for the 1st time in seasons. The Ravens QB has also gone back-to-back matches without a TD pass for the 1st time in 6 years.
